Leamington FC is undergoing a major squad overhaul ahead of the 2026-27 season as the club prepares for life in the Southern League Premier Division Central. Following their recent relegation, manager Scott Easterlow has announced the departure of a significant portion of the playing staff.
The changes mark the end of an era for several long-serving players at the Your Co-op Community Stadium. Club captain Adam Walker, who made 203 appearances and led the team to promotion in 2024, is among those leaving. Additionally, veteran players Joe Clarke and Theo Streete have announced their retirement from football. Clarke departs after eight years and more than 320 appearances for the club, while Streete concludes his tenure following 146 matches since joining in 2022.
In total, nine other players are leaving the squad, including Josh Quaynor and Tim Berridge, while three players are returning to their parent clubs. Regarding the departures, manager Scott Easterlow said, “We thank each and every player for their efforts. Since I came to the club, their honesty and enthusiasm in everything we have asked of them has been superb and I wish them every success moving forward.”
The club is now focusing on the upcoming campaign following a difficult season that saw them finish at the bottom of the National League North. To help manage the transition, Leamington FC has introduced an early bird pricing strategy for season tickets. This decision comes as the club navigates rising operational costs and the loss of £45,000 in league sponsorship funding.
Supporters can purchase tickets at the discounted early bird rates until 31 May 2026. Adult season tickets are priced at £234, while under-18s can secure entry for £30. Children under 12 will continue to be admitted for free.
