Dartford boss Tony Burman has signed up the majority of his promotion winning side for next season.

The Darts will be playing in the Blue Square Bet Premier and 11 players from last season’s squad are now under contract.

Two others, striker Jacob Erskine (pictured) and captain Elliot Bradbrook, are considering deals that were offered to them on Monday night.

Burman was keen to meet with his own players before looking elsewhere.

He has taken up the options on contracts for Danny Harris, play-off goalscoring hero Lee Noble, long-term servant Ryan Hayes and goalkeeper Daren Ibrahim.

Seven other players have signed new deals. They are Louis Wells, Lee Burns, Tom Bonner, Adam Green, Tom Champion, James Rogers and Jon Wallis.

Jack Pallen and Tony Garrod have been invited back to pre-season training by Burman but a trio of players have been released.

Work commitment means Richard Graham, Matt Jones and Paul Goodacre are unable to commit to the Conference Premier.
