        Miles Hardidge, Midfield/striker –Been with club for 9 seasons, another to join
        straight from Ashton Boys. Box to box midfielder with bags of ability, one of the
        best technical players in the squad and has become of 1st Team regular over
        recent seasons. Very comfortable on the ball and can play anywhere across the
        midfield.

        Conor Hartley, Forward – Signed from Hallen this summer, exciting, quick and
        skilful  winger  who  has  already  has  a  major  impact  on  the  squad  with  some
        spectacular goals and assists. So outstanding against Taunton Town in the recent
        somerset cup win, they have signed him on dual registration and awarded Man
        of the match on his debut Vs Barnstaple. Taunton have now loaned Conor out to
        Bideford.

        Sam Price, Midfield – Former member of our U’18s. Been with the Stags for 4
        years, joining from Ashton Utd. Promoted from the Reserves this season, tireless

        Connor Saunders, Midfield – 1  Team Captain of the squad starting his 6  year
                                                                         th
        at the club after signing from Wells City. The only player that seems to have his
        life in order, strong in the tackle, does a lot of the dirty work other don’t want to
        do & leads by example.
        Harry Walker, Midfield – Signed from Frome Town all the way back in 2015, ex-
        Bristol City youth who has represented England Schools. Can play anywhere on
        the left hand side also in central midfield, possesses great quality on the ball and
        dead ball delivery is spot on. Recovering from a broken ankle.

        Tom  Anthony,  Defender/midfield,  Recent  signing  from  Cribbs  in  the  Hellenic
        League, made his debut away to Helston. Equally home at in defence or midfield,
        pacey and comfortable on the ball. Has a big future in the game.

        Henry Sady, Forward, A very recent Beech acquisition from Gloucester County
        side Wick, following our developing relationship with St. Brendan’s college along
        with  Joel  and  Alfie.  From  ages  7-12,  Henry  spent  time  with  Bristol  city,
        Southampton and Bristol Rover’s academies. At 14 he got picked up by Forest
        Green Academy. Played with them for 2 years but didn’t offer a scholar, deemed
        too small. Start of this season he signed for Wick before joining the Stags in
        December and coming on as a sub V Brislington. Made his full debut last week
        Vs Mouse hole. Currently playing midweek for St Brendan’s College, Bitton 18s.

        Jack Sells, Forward, a recent arrival, highly talented striker who scored on his
        debut v Millbrook. Following a very successful spell with Clevedon Town, Jack
        moved to Portishead Town. Been on Beech’s radar for quite a while.
