Gary McCann is pleased to announce that, with the exception of four departures, all of last season's squad have committed to the club for the new season.

Bradley Thomas, who joined us from Sutton United during last season, is expected to sign for Braintree Town, a club which is closer to home for him. Peter Dean, who joined us from Bishop's Stortford in January 2009, is expected to return to one of his former clubs, whilst James Bent is expected to move to Wingate & Finchley, where he is also likely to take on a coaching role.

The fourth departure is Yacine Hamada, who is returning to his native Algeria, and is hoping to sign for a club in their professional league. We would like to thank all four players for all their efforts during their time at Hendon, and we wish them all the best for the future.

We are delighted that the remainder of the squad have committed to the club for next season. The committed players include Belal Aiteouakrim, who has made a good recovery from the injury he picked up last season, and Glenn Garner, who spent the last few weeks of last season dual registered at Arlesey Town.

Gary is also pleased to announce that he has secured the services of three new players, two defenders and a striker. Full details will be released once all the paperwork has been completed.
