Defender Dan Barnard to make way for loanee Owen Williams.

Central defender Dan Barnard has been released from the club to make way for loanee signing from Cheltenham Town Owen Williams.
Barnard, who signed this season played in nearly all pre season friendlies and improved with each game.
His league debut on the opening day against current high flyers Highworth was a disaster, when he scored an own goal before gifting them a second goal early on.

The tall defender did begin to settle in after a few games and scored his only Town goal in the 2-1 away win at Fairford. He was withdrawn along with Billy Guest at half time in the 2-0 FA Vase defeat at Wantage on Saturday. Both Cheltenham loan signings Williams and Josh Bennai replacing them.

Manager Mark Lee said of his new signings,
"Owen came on for the second half and slotted in at right-back,"
"He looked comfortable on the ball and was getting forward. Josh also came on at half-time and looked really lively and put himself about. He won a few free kicks and they both look really promising."
