Goddard remains a Rebel for 2025/26

It’s great to have Johnny back with us for next season. He’s highly respected within the group for how he conducts himself on and off the pitch, and he’ll be a great role model for the younger players coming into the squad Scott Davies We are delighted to confirm that Johnny Goddard will remain at the club for the 2025/26 season.

The 31-year-old forward originally joined the Rebels from St. Albans City in June 2022. His outstanding 2023/24 campaign saw him net 19 goals in 52 matches, earning him the Golden Boot for a second consecutive season and an England C cap. After a brief spell at Boreham Wood, Johnny returned for a second stint in November 2024. Across his two spells, he has now made 124 appearances and scored 28 goals.

Manager, Scott Davies said:

“It’s great to have Johnny back with us for next season. He’s highly respected within the group for how he conducts himself on and off the pitch, and he’ll be a great role model for the younger players coming into the squad.

“Johnny rejoined us midway through last season as a player/coach, but we fully believe that for him to be at his best he needs to focus solely on playing — which is what he will be doing during the next campaign.

“He’s a perfect first addition as we prepare for a busy week of announcements, including both retained players and new signings.”
