Elliott Dickman said: “We’re very pleased to have made the signings we have – we’ve had a good look at them and they’ve also seen what we’re all about. Alongside our existing squad, they will get plenty of support in their development and as staff, we will help them work hard for their opportunities. Last season was really positive in terms of the squad and their collective progression, and I’m confident that the new additions will ensure that the group continues on that same path both as a team and as individuals.”
