@officialswifts So glad you are staying. One top man and a great person to hv around our club.

Heybridge Swifts are delighted to announce that fan favourite Milo Grimes has verbally agreed to remain at the club for the 2026/27 season. 🖤🤍 Since arriving ahead of last season, Milo has become a huge figure at Scraley Road with his relentless attitude, consistency and battling performances quickly making him one of the supporters’ favourites. His commitment to the badge was perfectly shown last season when he selflessly stepped in to play in goal following a last-minute injury to our goalkeeper, a moment that summed up exactly what Milo is all about. A player who gives absolutely everything for the shirt and always fights for the badge. A massive retainment for the football club and one we know the Swifts fans will be delighted to see. #Swifts #SwiftsAsOne

@officialswifts Jack. What can one say. You are Mr swifts so glad are staying.

His unbelievable work rate, commitment and passion for the badge are there for all to see every single time he steps onto the pitch, with Jack setting the standard through his determination and relentless attitude. A player who embodies everything it means to represent Heybridge Swifts and a retainment that will have the Swifts fans absolutely buzzing. #Swifts #SwiftsAsOne

@officialswifts @Luke_Wilson89 Behind you gaffa

Following today’s announcements, manager @Luke_Wilson89 has shared his thoughts on the appointments of David Patient and James White ahead of the 2026/27 season. “I am incredibly excited to announce that both Dave Patient and Whitey will be joining my staff for the upcoming season and beyond. Building a team from scratch over the last few weeks has been a relentless task, but it was essential to find players and staff who match the ambition and standards this club demands. I know firsthand how vital it is to surround yourself with people you can trust; I know for a fact I can rely on Whitey to help drive our standards and instill a ‘never say die’ mentality across the squad. We have set clear targets, and with these two alongside me, I am confident we will achieve them. Our focus now turns to finalising a squad capable of competing at Step 5, as well as making a real impact in the FA Vase, a trophy we know is deeply important to everyone here. After meeting with over 40 players in the last few weeks, we are now in a position, pending official announcements, to say we have a team ready to go to war for the badge. More importantly, they are ready to play for the fans and this community. It is more important than ever that we come together and work as one. Looking ahead: June: We will be hosting several open sessions where you can meet the players. July: We’ll host a family BBQ and a ‘meet the team’ event during a fixture (Date TBC). I look forward to seeing you all in the coming weeks. I know you will be over the moon with the group I’ve assembled. This is the start of an incredible new build, and I want to personally thank Alex and Steve for their continued trust in my vision.” ⚫⚪ #Swifts #SwiftsAsOne
