George Carline joined the Saints from Chesterfield in August 2022 and has gone on to become a lynchpin of the Brackley Town team, from scoring vital goals such as his winner against Chester in the playoffs semi-final in May 2023, to his solid defensive performances in the Saints backline. George has made 136 appearances and scored 15 goals in a Brackley Town shirt, including a memorable spell in goal away at Alfreton Town following Jonny Maxted's sending off, which saw him make some vital saves as the Saints took all three points on the road.
Danny Newton re-joined Brackley Town in July 2023 from Boreham Wood and quickly became a fans favourite with swashbuckling performances in a Saints shirt, leading the front line and his never say die attitude. His first season back in a Brackley shirt saw him net 20 goals in 46 appearances, this season he was on track for another successful season until he sustained a broken leg against Darlington in November that saw him sidelined for over 4 months, he came back and led the line again, scoring in our final game of the season against Farsley Celtic that saw us crowned champions of the National League North. In his two spells at St James Park Newts made 95 appearances and scored 29 goals.
Brackley Town manager Gavin Cowan has this to say about George and Danny “George and Danny have been magnificent servants to the football club and we hoped it would continue but they’ve decided it’s not to be. To say “thank you” wouldn’t do our connection justice but we wish them nothing but the very best on their new ventures!”
All the best George & Newts!
