Will Dawes has signed for National League South side Chippenham Town after leaving Yeovil Town.

Dawes, who signed for the Glovers from Stratford Town, left Huish Park at the end of this season after helping to secure the NLS Title.

The winger played in 22 league games during the successful 2023/24 campaign and secured promotion from that division the year before as part of the Oxford City side.

Dawes will seek a Hat Trick of promotions from the regional division with Chippenham this coming season.

Go well, Will.

The National League have confirmed a number of key dates ahead of the upcoming season.

Fixture release day will be on Wednesday 10th July… which gives you exactly one month to begin planning those lovely long away days… Gateshead on a Tuesday night, anyone?

The National League Premier will conclude on a Monday, because… reasons. Monday 5th May 2025 to be precise with a play-off schedule beginning soon after. 

Festive fixtures will be on Saturday 21 December, with Boxing Day fixtures taking place as normal – fixtures will be scheduled on New Year’s Day (Wednesday 1 January) with clubs able to switch to New Year’s Eve (Tuesday 31 December) if both clubs reach an agreement to do so.

It’s also worth noting a slight change to the festive schedule; no longer will teams play each other back-to-back across Xmas and New Year, instead, the Boxing Day games will be reversed on Good Friday and the New Year Game will be replicated on Easter Monday.

At time of writing, the Football Association haven’t confirmed dates for the FA Cup, FA Trophy or any other silly competition including Premier League kids teams… we look forward to those.

Confirmation of key dates for the 2024/25 season:
Fixture Release Day – Wednesday 10 July
Opening Day – Saturday 10 August
National Closing Day – Monday 5 May

National League South Champion Joe Day has been linked with a move to Cheltenham Town ahead of the new season.

Day, who spent the majority of the 2023/24 season with Yeovil Town, making 40 appearances, has been linked to the League Two outfit by Gloucestershire Live.

Plenty of Glovers fans, including us here at the Gloverscast, had hoped that the former Newport County stopper would return to Huish Park after being released at the end of his contract with Newport County.

But, with lots of change at Whaddon Road, including the appointment of Gary Johnson as Director of Football, the suggestion is the fan’s favourite will be staying in the EFL and once again link up with his former boss, Michael Flynn

National League South Champion Jay Foulston has joined Torquay United.

Foulston, who spent the second half of the season with the Glovers on loan from Taunton Town, heads to Plainmoor on the expiry of his Peacock’s contract.

When he arrived at Huish Park in December, Taunton said that there was a ‘view to a permanent deal’ for the Glovers to sign the defender at the end of his contract, but clearly that hasn’t been taken up.

Foulston played 21 times for Yeovil last season, including in a 3-0 win over the Gulls, and becomes the first signing for manager (and former Glover) Paul Wotton following the lifting of the club’s transfer embargo today.

Torquay had been unable to negotiate any player transfers since they served notice of their intention to go in to administration in February, but recently completed a takeover by The Bryn Consortium, led by journalist Michael Westcott.

All the best in Devon, Jay!
