Dartford boss Tony Burman will introduce his new signings to the squad on Thursday when the players begin pre-season training.

Burman will also have one or two trialists in for the first session back as work begins on the forthcoming Blue Square Bet South season.

One of the main priorities for Burman will be to get the newcomers to find their feet among those who remain from the Ryman League, Premier Division promotion campaign.

Burman said: "It will be good to get the players in together so that they can get fit and start to gel ahead of that first league game in August.

"The guys we’ve signed are decent fellas and I’m sure they will come in and settle quickly.

"Getting the players to gel is something we make a point of speaking about and it’s essential that a team get close together.

"That is not just on the park but off it. It’s one thing we got right last year and we will endeavour to do the same again this time."
