DORCHESTER Town have retained winger Sam Bayston in their squad for the 2021/22 season.

Former Wimborne man Bayston joined the Magpies last summer having spent several seasons with Wimborne Town.

Bayston netted 10 times in 24 games for Wimborne in the 2019/20 campaign before coronavirus forced its abandonment.

Dorchester fans will be hoping he can recapture that form after scoring just once for the Magpies – at Yate Town – in a handful of games before Covid-19 forced the curtailment of the season.

Speaking to Dorchester’s official website, manager Robbie Herrera said: “He’s a great lad and again another one with a fantastic attitude.

“He’s got a good understanding of the game and he seems to find little pockets of space to receive the ball.

“Again, we will work with him to help improve his attacking play and try and get a few more goals out of him.

“We’re pleased to be working with him again for the coming season.”

Bayston is the seventh player to sign for Dorchester’s next season, joining Oakley Hanger, Billy Lowes, Tom Purrington, Tiago Sa, Ash Wells and Charlie Madden.
