Dartford manager Tony Burman can concentrate on adding fresh blood to the squad, having agreed terms with the players he wants to retain from last season.

Burman (pictured) has also brought former Dover man Jon Wallis to Princes Park for the new campaign and wants to bolster his squad further.

He said: "We are all finished with last season’s squad now and I’m just looking at bringing in two or three more players.

"Hopefully they will be in place by pre-season. We are actively talking to people but we haven’t had any firm answers back yet. Players do take their time at this stage of the season.

"We are looking at specific areas. We know what we want, and that is why it is maybe taking a bit longer."

Dartford have added another Football League club to their pre-season calendar. Crawley will visit Princes Park on July 23.
