A really bright prospect. Hard in the tackle, good on the ball and can player pretty much anywhere. Broke into the first team last season and scoring on his debut.

One word - Magician.

Elliott is a fantastically gifted player who can player at full back, out wide or central midfield.

Fittest player in the club.

Calum was a regular in the Youth set up last season and made a few appearances for the Reserves. A big season for Calum as he should start to push for more regular senior football whilst still being a major part of the youth set-up.

Matt signed from Oakwood at the beginning of the season, he is a talented young defender who can play in any defensive position. Attending Chichester college he was selected for a England School boys trail at the age 17 Years.

Snoop joined us this summer from Horsted Keynes. A good addition to the squad with the abilityto play on the left or right. Also played for Haywards Heath Town with Roy Staughton

Tom is comfortable anywhere along the back four. He has a fantastic presence and is really strong in the air.

He was well coveted as a young player and we are glad he chose to get his football career back on track by joining Rangers a few seasons ago.

A consistent performer who is 100% dependable.

The clubs goalkeeping coach. Fantastic coach with invaluble experience having previously played for Haywards Heath and Franklands Village. Once saved a penalty against Sir Stanley Matthews.

Coach

Mark stepped down from his assistant Reserves Team Managers job as he wanted to start playing again. He has chosen to join Cuckfield Town who are now managed by old Rangers legend Brian Newton. However, Mark has stayed on the coaching staff and is a big attribute to the team.

An all round top lad who is magic in the dressing room !!

Martin, a tenacious midfielder, has been with the club since its days in Div 3 of the county league. The school teacher lists one of his hobbies as expressing his opinion to match officials.

With his looks defying his tender years, Rusty finished last season as 2nd top goalscorer for the reserves. With his pace and natural ability he should be pushing for a regular spot with the first team this season.

Head Coach

This is Jona's 2nd season with Rangers and he has stepped up to be Head Coach this season. He is a fantastically talented coach and it is a pleasure to have him on board.

Dan has been with Rangers since our County 3 days and matured into a very talented centre half. If needed Dan can also sit in the middle of the park.

Ben was part of the successfull Burgess Hill Youth team which won the treble in 04/05 and played for the Hillians the next season. Went on to play for Haywards Heath Town for a year then joined Rangers in July 2007 and became a first team regular. Ben's twin Sam followed him to Rangers the same season and they both really good lads who work hard.

Sam is in his 2nd season with Rangers after joining from Lancing. He can play up front or our wide and has electric pace.

This season he has seen Sam put in some really good performances for the reserves and 1st teams and the goals are starting to come.

Can have a massive impact on a game with his pace and will cause defenders problems all day.

A highly talented central defender who can also play centre midfield. Jake Re-signed for Rangers from Haywards Heath but has been with Crawley Town since he left Rangers.

Geoff has played most of his football as a professional with spells at Millwall, Watford and Brighton. He also played for Stevenage, Woking, Farnborough and Havant in the Conference.

Geoff has bags of ability and can run games and make it look easy. A really good influence for our young players.

Has had more clubs than Tiger Woods but still a great character in the dressing room.

Russell is in his second season with the club. 'Dick' as he likes to be called can play anywhere across the back. Would like to be known as the clubs fashion icon.
