We can confirm that the men's first-team squad will travel to the Murcia region of Spain for a week-long training camp, in preparation for the 2026/27 campaign.
Contracted players will report back at the end of June before stepping up preparations in Spain from Monday 20th July, with two behind-closed-doors friendlies (opponents to be confirmed in due course) to be played during the trip.
Over the coming weeks, the club will also confirm a series of friendly matches either side of the visit to Spain. Please note that, due to our ongoing pitch works, these are likely to take place at away venues.
We are also exploring the opportunity to host an open training session for supporters once pitch works are complete.
