ALVECHURCH have revealed the club’s retained and released list following the conclusion of the 2025/26 campaign.

Church retained their Southern League Premier Central status for another season following a 14th place finish, 11 points clear of the relegation zone.

The club have confirmed four players will depart Lye Meadow with Josh Dugmore, Krystian Pearce, Jiah Medrano and Elliott Dugan to leave the club.

Dugmore departs after making more than 150 appearances for Church since arriving at Lye Meadow in 2023.

Fellow defender Pearce has announced his retirement from football following the end of the campaign and scored in his last-ever appearance against Leiston on the final day of the season.

Some seven players have agreed terms to remain with Alvechurch next season with Callum Sullivan, Jessy Bavanganga, Kieran Wakefield, Tope Obadeyi, Dieter Schwarm, Billy Corns and Sam Perry all signing on for the 2026/27 campaign.




Alvechurch remain in talks with Joe Willis, Jez Abbey and Jonathan Ngandu ahead of the new season.

And the club have already added new signings Miracle Okafor and George Forsyth to their squad.


Loan players Redman Evans, Will Merrett, Zac Guinan, Felix Miles, Callum Powell and Manny Ilesanmi have all returned to their parent clubs.
