Darren Banks

The veteran striker rejoined the Vics at the start of the 2009-10 season for his second spell with the club after his first was cruelly ended due to a broken leg in October 2006. The much travelled 34-year-old can include Ashford Dynamo, Charing Sunday, Prince Albert and Givaudan as some of his former clubs, and seems to have picked up from where he left off banging in five goals in six pre-season games this summer.

SAM BURGESS

Sam joined the club in December 2008 and made his debut the same month in the 2-1 league defeat to Troggs Reserves. The quick and versatile defender ironically previously played for Troggs a couple of seasons ago and has quickly established himself as a key member of the Victoria squad. Favours a role in the centre of defence, but is more than capable of playing at full-back, and will be looking to push for a regular starting place in his second season with the club.

Danny Bushell

The hard working and influential midfielder finally put pen to paper and resigned for the Vics in August 2009 from Canterbury League side Adisham Nomads, and his signing has been mentioned as a massive coup for Victoria. Bushell, who scored one goal in two appearances at the end of the 2008-09 season for the Vics, was originally offered the chance to join the club back in 2006 but decided to stay and play his football in Canterbury.

WAYNE CLEAVE

Wayne joined the Vics in October 2006 and made an immediate impact netting on his debut against Prince Albert. The versatile former Kennington youth player has gone full-cycle at Victoria, starting out as a striker before switching back to defence and now to a striker again, and was named Young Player of the Year in 2007. A big, physical and skillful player, Wayne has great experience at this level despite his young age and finished as the clubs top goal scorer last season with 26 goals in as many appearances.

Richard Coombes

Richard joined the Vics from Premier Division side Bliby in September 2009 and is Victoria's first choice goalkeeper. The 22-year-old stopper brought with him a wealth of top level experience despite his young age and helped previous club Bliby win the Charity Trophy in 2009, winning the man of the match award in their 2-0 win over Lydd in the final at Homelands. Coombes also turns out for Hamstreet FC on Saturday's in the newcomers Kent County League campaign.

The speedy striker finally signed for Victoria in August 2009 from Canterbury League side Adisham Nomads after months of speculation and will certainly bolster the Vics attacking options for the 2009-10 season. The 21-year-old also turns out for Saturday side Chilham FC and has made an instant impact in pre-season, netting three goals in two appearances.

GARY FOREMAN

The experienced former Prince Albert and Fox Sunday attacking midfielder joined the Vics at the start of the 2008-09 season, and quickly established himself as an important member of the first team. Gary has played a variety of different roles in his Victoria career to date, but finished the previous season as Andy Jones' partner in the centre of midfield. The 28-year-old won both the Managers Player of the Year award and Clubman of the Year in his debut season with the Vics.

ADAM GEORGE

Adam, the older brother of Darryl, joined Ashford Victoria in the summer of 2008 and made an instant impact in the opening weeks of the 2008-09 season. The attack minded left-back netted four times in his eight first team appearances before leaving to travel around New Zealand for a year and is expected to return to the squad in the near future. The long throw expert, who has had trials and played for Mid Canterbury United in New Zealand this season, can also operate at centre-back and is more than comfortable in midfield too.

DARRYL GEORGE

Darryl signed in the summer of 2007, and has been a first team regular ever since. The attack minded 22-year-old has made the left midfield position his own over the past two seasons, but can also play up front, and his goal scoring record speaks for itself after getting into double figures in both his previous seasons. Darryl's season was prematurely ended last term due to a knee injury but still picked up Captain's Player of the Year.

JOSH HATCHER

Young Josh joined the Vics in August 2008 and only missed one game in his debut season in which he picked up the Young Player of the Year award. The versatile right footed player prefers to play either in attack or out wide on the right of the midfield, but has also been asked to play at right-back and in a defensive midfield role in the past and netted his first goal for the club in the 5-1 win over Shadoxhurst in September 2008.

SHANE JUPP

Shane is another original member of the squad joining the Vics in February 2006. The extremely talented and skillful right-midfielder topped off a fantastic second season with the club picking up the Managers Player of the Year Award for 2008 and claimed the goal of the season accolade too when he scored on the half-volley in his own half on the opening day of the season, yet another comparison with his hero- David Beckham. Shane is the clubs dead-ball specialist and landed the Most Valuable Player award in 2009.

Left-footed Tony seems to get better and better with every season and was outstanding at the heart of Victoria's defence last term, winning the Players Player of the Year award. Good in the air and tough in the tackle, Tony is the clubs first choice centre back after successfully switching from left-back in the summer of 2008, and scored his first goal for the Vics against his former club Aldington Sports Reserves back in January 2007.

Michael Mills

Michael returned to the club for a third spell in October 2009 having previously played a full season back in 2006-07, and making a single appearance the following year. The attack minded younsgster is comfortable out wide or up front, but has recently switched to and prefers a more central midfield role, which he played in for Saturday side Riverside Inn at his previous club. The younger brother of manager Ryan Mills, Mike has also been of the books of Charlton Athletic Community side.
