One to watch
Striker, Alfie May
The forward currently leads the goal scoring charts for The Robins on 11 goals in all competitions however goals have been coming from all directions for Michael Duff’s side.
May came through the youth ranks of Millwall before spending the first part of his career throughout none league.
His first real showcase of ability in front on goal came for Erith and Belvedere of the Southern Counties league where he netted 38 goals in 45 appearances.
A similar record for Hythe Town followed which was met by football league clubs keeping an eye on him. That football league move did materialise when Doncaster Rovers snapped up the striker in 2017.
He spent three years in Yorkshire, gaining 92 outings and netting ten times all together at the place where he made his professional debut.
Cheltenham Town came calling in the summer of 2020 and bought the 27 year old for an undisclosed fee which has so far proven to be a wise move for the Gloucestershire side.
