Former France U21 international star Cedric Anselin will be among Wroxham's players limbering up in a friendly against Wivenhoe at Trafford Park (3).
Manager Damian Hilton has agreed to given the former Norwich City and King's Lynn midfielder a run-out on a pitch that has now been rabbit-proofed and made safe with sunken wire fencing around the perimeter.
Even so, players will be given a word of caution from Hilton to take it easy on a rock-hard surface as they prepare to start their new Ridgeon's Premier season on August 12 away to Ipswich Wanderers who finished last term one place above the Yachtsmen's eighth spot.
Hilton said: “We have a built a useful squad, but I do not want any of them to pick up pre-season injuries. We've been training hard but on Saturday I shall probably limit the players to 45 minutes each especially if the heatwave continues.”
So was he expecting Anselin to sign for the Yachtsmen? “Quite honestly I do not know what his plans are, but it will be a massive boost for us to sign a right-sided player of his class,” he said.
Sheringham FC start their pre-season today at Weybourne Road, 2.30pm kick-off against Yarmouth Town in the Michael Wright Cup. Money raised from the game will go to the Big C appeal.
