Brackley Town are delighted to confirm that defender Riccardo Calder has signed a new contract to remain at St James Park for the upcoming National League season.

Calder, a dynamic and energetic presence on the left flank, was an important part of the Saints' historic 2024/25 campaign, contributing to the club’s promotion to the National League as National League North champions.

His athleticism, defensive solidity, and attacking support on the left side made him a consistent performer throughout the season, and the club is thrilled to have secured his services as we prepare for a new chapter at a higher level.

Gavin Cowan said of Riccardo's new deal “We know what Riccardo brings to the team and the levels in which he can reach. Following his injury last season, he feels as though he has a point to prove not only at the level but to everyone else which means he’s hungry!”

Riccardo joined Brackley in June 2022 having previously spent time at clubs including Aston Villa, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, and Bradford (Park Avenue) and has gone on to make 130 Saints appearances so far.

With preparations for pre-season well underway, Calder’s commitment provides another boost as the Saints look to build momentum heading into 2025/26.
