Experienced striker Jack Defty has re-signed for a second spell with Swaffham Town.
The former King's Lynn and Lowestoft Town hit-man has been one of the local leagues' most lethal forwards of the last 10 years and will offer the Pedlars invaluable experience, with a particular influence on the club's younger players.
Defty scored eight goals in 16 games last season as he stepped up his comeback from a nasty broken leg which had threatened to end his career.
There's no doubt Swaffham boss Paul Hunt sees Defty's physical presence as causing opposition difficulties. Hunt and Co, after a few weeks of uncertainty when Rob Taylor took over as boss but left without having managed a game, have started their pre-season campaign.
On Friday evening they played their first competitive game against worthy opposition, Mattishall, taking away a 3-2 win on a 3G surface. The best football was played by Swaffham, although their finishing needs polishing, and there was a good performance by the Mattishall keeper.
Hunt has also confirmed striker Alex Vincent as club captain, with a club statement saying: "Alex will also oversee the role of leading the player committee which is vital as this will see the players and club working as one.
