Pre-Season Villans Visit

An Aston Villa XI will travel to Leamington in July for a pre-season friendly.

Villa's under 21's reached the Round of Sixteen in the UEFA Youth League last season, whilst their u18s won the Under 18 Premier League and the FA Youth Cup in a hugely successful season for Villa's academy.

Former Kidderminster Harriers and Solihull Moors boss Jimmy Shan made the step up from u18s to u21s at Bodymoor Heath in the past week, and the Villa side visiting Warwickshire will be another tough test ahead of the 2025/26 National League North season.

The game will be played on Tuesday 15 July, with a 19:30 kick off.

As in line with all other home friendlies, tickets will be priced as follows:

Adult £12
Concession £8
Student £6
Under 18 £3
Under 12 £0

and will be released closer to the game on our online ticketing portal. Season Ticket holders gain free entry to all of our home pre-season friendlies.

Berridge is back!

Tim Berridge has become the latest player from last seasons squad to agree terms for the approaching 2025/2026 campaign.

The Nottingham based forward man joined Leamington last summer from Coalville Town , and although it took him a little while to bag his first goal in the Gold and Black, he enjoyed a steady first campaign at Step 2, scoring six goals, and was involved in all but three of our 52 games during the season.

Tim linked up well with Cally Stewart before the youngster moved into the Football League in January, assisting as well as scoring goals, and he will be looking to hit the ground running this term now he has had a taste of the National League North.

'I'm really happy to be re-signing at Leamington,' said Berridge. 'I'm looking forward to another season with the club and am hoping to kick on from last season to see what we can achieve this time.'

'Tim adapted more to the level as the season progressed, and though I'm sure he would have liked to have ended with more goals to his name he made some important contributions, and got better as we went along,' said Paul Holleran. 'I am sure that he will be looking to make his mark in the goalscoring charts this season, and we are pleased that he has decided to stay with us.'

Wanted man Meredith to stay with Brakes!

We are ecstatic to be able to relay news from Paul Holleran that our right back, multiple player of the season award winner and fans favourite Dan Meredith has agreed terms with the club to begin his sixth full season with us.

The 25 year old initially linked up with Brakes on loan from West Bromwich Albion in early 2020, joining permanently at the beginning of the second covid curtailed season of 2020/2021.

Having patiently waited for his chance, Dan has easily been one of our most consistent performers ever since, something that has been acknowledged by the fans, his manager and team mates as he has scooped several player of the season awards.

Now, despite overtures from a National League club to secure his signiture, the former Scotland Youth International has further cemented his status at the club by deciding to stay in Warwickshire for the new season, and his manager could not be happier:

'Dan has probably been one of the best right backs in the National League North over the last few seasons,' said Holleran. 'He has been a model of consistency in every season for us - even last season, when his campaign was disrupted by injury, and yet again, despite other clubs coming in for him, he has shown what it means to him to play for this football club and these fans, by choosing to stay with us, and we could not be more delighted. He is important to our team and to me, and is a great lad to work with.'

The man himself had this to say: 'I’m very happy to sign for another season. After a slightly frustrating season because of a few injuries I picked up it was a proud moment for myself to make 200 appearances for the club.

We’re in a great place to kick on after the record points tally last season, and seeing the new teams in the league this year it’s going to be another great challenge for us that I’m looking forward to.'

Dan is pictured with the manager and skipper Adam Walker, receiving a momento of his 200th appearance for the club in the final game of last season. Here's to many more!

Quaynor’s back on board!

Josh Quaynor has become the latest player from last season’s squad to agree terms for the 2025/2026 campaign.

The experienced defender, enjoyed another consistent season last time out, and along with George Ward was second only to Callum Hawkins for the number of games he started for Brakes, highlighting a consistency to his game which sees him just five appearances short of a century in Gold and Black as he begins his third season with the club.

‘After the last two good seasons we’ve had as a club it was an easy decision for me to re-sign again after knowing the gaffer wanted to keep me,’ said Josh. ‘All the lads and fans have been so welcoming since I arrived and the club feels like home to me. I hope we can continue from last seasons record breaking points tally and kick on again. I’m glad to be a part of it for another season. Up the Brakes!’

‘Josh has been one of the experienced heads in our squad for the past two seasons, making some hugely important contributions, and we are delighted to have him back on board for another season,’ said manager Paul Holleran.

Lambs in Pre-Season

National League side Tamworth will be Leamington's final pre-season opponents before the 2025/26 National League North season.

It's been a rollerocaster of a few seasons for the Lambs, who last faced Leamington in FA Trophy action in December 2022 - when Leamington were the higher placed side of the two teams. They now, following two successive promoions, ply their trade in the top division of non-league and made the headlines last season, as they took eventual Europa League winners Tottenham Hotspur to extra time in the FA Cup.

A very respectable 10^th place was achieved last time out in the National League as they finished just four points outside of the play-off places.

Paul Holleran's outfit will host the Lambs on Saturday 2^nd August, with the game kicking off at 3pm.

As in line with all other home friendlies, tickets will be priced as follows:

Adult £12
Concession £8
Student £6
Under 18 £3
Under 12 £0

and will be released closer to the game on our online ticketing portal. Season Ticket holders gain free entry to all of our home pre-season friendlies.

Salop to visit in July

As previously announced when Cally Stewart signed for Shrewsbury Town, we will have the pleasure of hosting the Shrews in pre-season.

Michael Appleton's men will visit Warwickshire on Saturday 12 July, with a 3pm kick off at Your Co-op Community Stadium. It will be a return home for the striker that supports the Brakes and scored 37 goals in 74 games over a season and a half on Harbury Lane, playing a crucial role in the season that saw Leamington eventually promoted following a Play Off Final win at Town's Shropshire rivals Telford.

Despite the addition of Stewart in January, Shrewsbury were relegated from League One and will be looking to make the jump back up at the first attempt this coming season.

Tickets for this game, and the rest of our home friendlies, will be:

Adult £12
Concession £8
Student £6
Under 18 £3
Under 12 £0
