You've just survived relegation and are under new ownership looking to gain promotion. So what do you do? Sign a host of players from a side promoted last year of course! We are just mere weeks into pre-season and Bromsgrove Sporting have signed as many as seven players from last seasons Playoff winners Hednesford.
Goalkeeper Tony Breeden returns to the club with a strong pedigree and a history of promotions on his CV.
Breeden is no stranger to Sporting fans, having previously played for the club, and he arrives again after a standout spell with Hednesford Town. His recent career has been defined by success, including multiple promotions and a reputation as a dependable shot-stopper in high-pressure games.
His return gives Bromsgrove both familiarity and leadership in a key position.
Midfielder Simeon Maye joins the Rouslers after progressing through the non-league system and building a reputation as a hard-working, energetic presence in the middle of the park.
Maye is expected to bring balance to the midfield - offering defensive discipline alongside the ability to break up play and keep possession ticking over. He fits the mould of a player designed for the physical demands of the division.
Playmaker Dan Trickett-Smith arrives as one of the more technically gifted additions to the squad.
Known for his attacking midfield role and set-piece ability, Trickett-Smith adds a creative spark that Bromsgrove have often looked to strengthen in recent seasons. His experience across the non-league pyramid gives the Rouslers a player capable of unlocking defences in tight games.
Defender Chris Hussey brings a wealth of Football League and non-league experience to the back line.
A seasoned professional with a long career at higher levels, Hussey offers versatility, leadership, and composure. His ability to play at left-back or in central defence gives Bromsgrove tactical flexibility as well as stability.
Dominating defender Ollie Harrison is the next addition.
26 year-old Ollie, who stands at 6ft 6in, was an integral part of Hednesford’s back-to-back promotion winning side, picking up multiple Player of the Month awards at Keys Park in the season just gone.
He joined the Pitmen from Leek Town, where he amassed 195 appearances and also enjoyed a promotion – there, he played alongside fellow new Sporting addition, Dan Trickett-Smith.
Forward Jake Jervis arrives with a strong reputation as a direct, powerful attacking option.
With experience across the Football League and non-league system, Jervis offers physical presence and goal threat. His arrival gives Bromsgrove a different attacking dimension - particularly useful in games where more direct play is required.
The combative central midfielder joined the Pitmen in November 2024, making him another member of their squad who enjoyed back-to-back promotions during his time there.
He was captain at Coalville Town, and played 214 games for the Ravens, a handful of which would have been against the Rouslers in the Southern League Central.
With seven already signed, who will be next?
