Squad Update

Squad Update

Ben Forrest is recovering well from his horrendous pre-season injury and is now receiving regular treatment from our medical team. This remains a long-term recovery and we do not expect a return to action prior to the New Year.

Adam Whitehouse has returned to training following his hamstring injury and could be available for selection within the next 2-3 weeks.

Charlie Ten-Grotenhuis has been away on a pre-signing approved family holiday, but will have to isolate due to a member of the group testing positive for COVID 19.

Kieron Dawes has chosen to sign for Redditch United, following a seven days notice of approach. We are very disappointed with this decision but as the manager has stated, if you are not prepared to fight for a starting place, you are free to go. We would like to thank Kieron for his time at the Boro and wish him well at Redditch.

In light of the above expect new signings confirmation shortly.

We have started the season very well and we are all frustrated that we have not taken more points in certain games. As a management team they are determined to strengthen the squad to improve on this start. This takes time, is not an instant solution and we will only bring in players that are better than current players. We will build on the initial positivity flowing around the club.

Please stick behind us and keep that support vocal.

Car Parking for Rushall Olympic

Car Parking for Rushall Olympic

The club have been advised today that it is very likely that the car park at Rushall Olympic will be out of action from Friday (3 September 2021) and all weekend.

Rushall have been waiting on contractors to resurface the area for quite a long time now, and have been told they are available to do it then!

Therefore, Rushall Olympic have advised they have alternative parking a short distance away from the ground, and have sent a map showing the location.

He was later named Goalkeeper of the Tournament for his performances.
