One of the new faces will be familiar to Stortford fans, as midfi elder Elliott Ronto returns to the club having recently played for Flint at Witham Town. The Aussie notched 10 goals from central midfi eld last season, earning him the manager’s player-of-the-year award for Witham. A former Australian under-18 international, Ronto began his career with former A League club Gold Coast United before moving to England two years ago. While Flint still hopes to retain keeper Calum Kitscha, he has added Bobby Mason, also from Witham Town where he kept 12 clean sheets in 35 appearances last season. The 27 year old was previously number one for Thurrock when they won promotion to the Bostik Premier two seasons ago. Defender Sam Robbins joins from Waltham Abbey and he will be joined in the Blues back line by Former Arsenal man Elliot Wright. The 21 year old has superb pedigree having spent over 10 years at with the Gunners before leaving two years ago, representing England at under-17 level during that time. After a year out of the game via a short injury plagued spell at Waltham Abbey, he is looking to get his football career back on track. 29 year old Lewis Dark joins from Heybridge Swifts having captained them for the majority of last season, marshaling them to the FA Cup fi rst round and FA Trophy second o as well at the play- offs. A combative and effi cient midfi eld player with high work ethic and superb leadership qualities. He began his career at Brentford - making a handful of Football League appearances before dropping into non-league, spending time at Stansted, Redbridge, Maldon and Tiptree, Grays and Thamesmead. Flint has also added the versatile Johnville Renee who began his career at Leyton Orient before leaving for Stoke City at 15 years old. He spent four years at The Potters before joining AFC Wimbledon in League 2. Comfortable in both defence and midfi eld, Johnville spent six months at Maldon and Tiptree last season. The signing spree was completed with the addition of 19-year-old midfi elder Chinedu Osadebe, winger Ryan Charles and forward Jake Cass who scored a bundle of goals for Chalfont St Peter last season in the EvoStik South-East Division. As well as a plethora of new signings, Flint has confi rmed that the core of the young Blues who performed so well last season are returning to the club. Jack Thomas, Alfi e Mason and Jordan Westcott were already signed up and they will be joined by Max Brassington, Marcus Crowther, Chad Cruse and Freddie Oakman when the Blue Brazil return to action in July.
