Hope has experience competing in the Isthmian Premier League, and scored over 100 goals for Enfield Town before signing for Ware, who he has played for in the last four seasons.

Hope adds know how to Lee Protheroe’s young squad.

He has also played for Maldon & Tiptree and Brentwood Town.

We are also pleased to announce Adam Martin has been appointed captain of the Club!

Martin joined The Scholars earlier on in the campaign, and has been a versatile addition to the squad.

He has featured for Bar as both a centre back and central midfielder, and is an important leader in the squad.

We look forward to welcoming Hope to the side and want to congratulate Martin on being appointed captain.
