       Jordan Thomas - Jordan has come up through the Procision Academy system and was
       handed his chance at Southern League level last year by Didcot Town. Has made the switch
       to his local team in the Millers over the summer.  He loves to run with the ball and try to
       create things in the final third.  Became a firm “fan’s favourite” last season with some fine
       performances and multiple eye-catching goals.
       Amer Awadh - 24-year-old forward who came through the youth system at Oxford City,
       playing primarily for their Nomads side, though he  progressed to make a few first team

       2018, whom he made 84 appearances for.  He started last season at Nuneaton Borough and
       joined the Millers from Stratford Town mid-way through the season.

       whilst playing for the club’s U23 side.  Is presently studying for a degree as part of the
       Procision Academy side and balances his academic studies with training and playing for the
       U23s.  He also takes an active role in the Procision operation and can often be seen taking
       coaching sessions.  This will be his first taste of senior men’s football.
       Latrell Humphrey-Ewers - Latrell is the latest product of the Oxford City FC academy to
       join us at Eynsham Park.  The versatile midfielder can play in a number of roles in the centre
       of the park. He made his senior debut for OCFC earlier in the season, against Eastbourne
       Borough.

       FORWARDS

       Lance Williams - Returned to Eynsham Park from local rivals Didcot Town, hardworking
       forward Lance has shown his abilities in previous seasons with the Millers.  Another of the
       2016/17 season squad, he helped lift the Oxfordshire Senior Cup and set records in both the
       FA Cup and FA Trophy.  He is excellent on the ball and has immense aerial presence.
       Levi Steele - 21-year-old Steele joined us from fellow Oxfordshire side Easington Sports;
       he is a prolific striker whom certainly knows where the back of the net is.  Previously played
       for  Southam  United  in  Hellenic  League  Division  Two  and  bagged  57  goals  in  just  36
       competitive games for them.  In 19 appearances last season, he scored 16 goals for FC
       Stratford.  Easington Sports then came calling in November 2021 where he made 10 scoring
       an impressive 12 goals.

       the Met Police after joining them from Walton Casuals. The two previous seasons he played
       for  another  fellow  league  side  Hartley  Wintney  between  2018  and  2020.  Sal  is  a  pacey
       forward who likes to take on the opposition and commit players.

       Former Kidlington and Ardley United player, Twariq signed for The Saints after an impressive
       pre-season in 2021.  He’s one of the early Procision Football Academy graduates, so will be
       well known by many connected to the club.
