Dan Gleeson – Manager
Dan has re-joined us and this time steps into the number 1 seat, Dan is an ex-pro with Luton Town & Cambridge United who brings a lot of experience with him to the club. Dan will work well with the young squad we have for this season and has built a good back-room staff to join him.
Errol McGammon - Fitness Coach
Errol is the beast of the engine room within the dressing room, combining his understanding of sports fitness with his understanding of the game. Errol has been around the non-league game for years and brings a wealth of knowledge to the coaching team.
Richard Cosbey – Kit Man
Rich is exactly the sort of person who makes a non-league club run. If there is a job that Rich hasn’t done, we are yet to find it (and if we do, he will no doubt have a go). A top bloke and someone you want fighting for you not against you! Will not be in the dug-out next season as he steps up to his new role within the club.
Mark Swan – Physio
Mark joined our club in 2022-23 season as our club physio, Mark is a great guy to have around the club and a good laugh with the other coaches. Mark is very experienced in his line of work and has a great relationship with the squad, great guy to have at Bearscroft lane.
Simon Dalton (GK)
Simon is New to Godmanchester Rovers this season after we have tried a couple of people to fill this number 1 spot, Simon is an experienced keeper with great distribution of the ball out of his hands and a great shot stopper, Simon will fast become a fans favourite at Bearscroft lane.
Ben Newton (GK)
New to Godmanchester this season after we have tried a couple of people to fill this number 1 spot, Ben is just what we have been looking for and we wish we have found him sooner. Ben has immediately showed his quality. we wish Ben all the best for the season and look forwarded to working with over the coming seasons.
Tom Spark
Another who played in a variety of positions last season but will be aiming to make a central role his own for the coming season. Sparky has great quality in possession and an ability to glide past players at speed. Will be looking to add more goals and assists to his game.
Ricki Goodale
Bob the builder, jack of all trades but what a centre back, great lad to have around the changing room, likes to see how far he can kick a ball out of the ground. Ricki is a old school centre back – head & kick it, do the simple things correct. Ricki joins us halfway through the season and has already made a big difference to the squad.
Ben Arnold
Ben has joined us from just up the A1 and Yaxley Fc, Ben can play either centre back or holding midfield and is a very talented footballer, Ben does not mind a tackle and likes to get stuck in. He is a great talker throughout the game and is great to support the young guns of the squad.
Matt Green (Captain)
Matt is the most experienced player in our squad this season and is the club captain, Matt is a solid player and can play centre back or holding midfield. Matt is very good with the younger ones and is a real leader on and off the pitch. we look forward to seeing Matt lead our team this season and many more to come.
Mani Gbejuade
Mani rejoins us after having started with us at the beginning of the season, then departing to play step 4 football, after 2 months he is now back where he belongs, good strong forward player. Mani is big and powerful and has full backs running scared all day long.
Ron Sosoli
Ron joins us from local step 3 outfit St Ives Town Fc, Ron is a great lad who can play either side full back, likes to attack as well but is a sloid defender first. Ron is a quite lad off the field but comes out of his shell on the field
Louis Aftersmith
Louis is from our last season U16 and now in our U18 set up, he is a young strong centre back and has already had 5 run outs in the first team squad. Louis will only get better and better while training and playing with the senior squad. We are super proud to have brought so many of the U18's into the senior side.
Ed Watson
Ed is another young gun from the Royston U18 set up. Ed can play anywhere across the forward line who likes to get in and around the defence of any team we are playing against. Ed is learning every time he steps onto the pitch and is becoming a key member of the senior squad.
Tommy Dear
Tommy is another from our U18 squad from a couple of seasons ago, left halfway through last season but has come back for the new season to get his head down and let his feet do the talking, great lad with bags of energy that carries him all day long around the pitch, Tommy is one that will become a Goddy legend.
Jamal Shenille
Jamal is new to Godmanchester rover’s fc this season, showed great promise in pre-season, now needs to kick on and cement his place week in week out in the starting 11, Jamal is a left back / left wingback.
Dan Brown
Dan is an experienced striker at step 5 football around this area, fox in the box, has great presence in the air and has a deadly left foot. Dan is a great person to have in the team after we have tried to sign him for the last 3 seasons.
Tom Wakley
Tom is another experienced striker who was in out youth & U18 set up a few years ago and has come back to join the club, been away and gained adult football elsewhere and has now come back to join the mighty Rovers, Tom wins 99% of all balls in the air and has plenty of power behind his strike.
Harry Brookes
Harry plays the number 10 role and is calm and steady on the ball, has a sweet left foot and is just a machine running and running all day long, Harry has joined us this season from Ely City Fc. We look forward to seeing Harry week in week out on the pitch.
Josh Hales
Josh is a winger who can play anywhere across the front line, Josh is a great lad to have in the changing rooms and he is great with the younger lads on the pitch, you could easily see Josh as a coach or manager of a senior team in years to come.
Will Jolly
Will is from our youth & U18 set up, been with them club for many years and is great to see him progress into the first team, great lad who wants to learn and will give you 100% when he is on the pitch, doesn’t mind getting stuck in and will let people know he is there.
Tak Chijota
M Tak has rejoined us this season after leaving us for a season thinking the grass was greener at Daventry Town, we are pleased to see Tak back at Bearscroft lane, lets hope he picks up the form he had when he left the club before.
