“It will be a challenge but we upset the odds massively last year and I can’t see any reason why we can't do the same again this year.'”

Robinson added: “We are delighted to have Kelvin on board,” he said.

“He is an experienced professional and a good athlete who had a really good season last year with us.

“It is great to have another player from last year’s squad sign up again for us to maintain the feelgood factor at the club.”
