The Essex side finished third-from-bottom in the table last season, having won 10 of their league games and suffered relegation along with Lewes and VCD Athletic.

O’Boyle has signed Jack Barry (Thamesmead Town), Ashley Probets (VCD Athletic), Jack Hopkins (Thamesmead Town), Theo Fairweather-Johnson (Thamesmead Town), Dajon Golding (Dartford), Jordan Campbell (Corinthian), Malik Ouani (Lordswood), Rion McParland (Romford), Steve Carvell (Thurrock),  Aaron Singh-Sekhon (Lordswood), John-Prince Rylah and Billy Medlock (Hastings United).

“Really looking forward to the start of our second season in the Ryman League,” said O’Boyle.

“We have a tough start against Brentwood, who were relegated from the Ryman Premier.

“I think we have a stronger squad this season and expect to improve on last season’s position.

“We have a lot of new faces at the club but still a core of players which helped us win the Southern Counties East Football League.

“I honestly believe we have a strong squad and can’t wait to get started.”
