1 - Joe Welch - Goalkeeper
Joe Welch
Having spent a number of seasons as an understudy to Danny Naisbitt, a series of impressive performances last season and a solid pre-season has shot Welch up the pecking order at the club. With David Knight on loan at York, Beck has shown faith in the patient young shot-stopper, and Joe will be hoping he can have a very good season for the Stutes.

Lanre Oyebanjo
Lanre spent 2 weeks on loan at League One outfit Oldham Athletic in the close season, but opted to stick with Histon after two very successful campaigns with the Stutes. His ambitious weaving runs have unlocked many a defence in the Blue Square Premier, and his attacking and defensive ability will be a huge asset for Histon this coming season.

Callum Stewart
A product of the HFC youth system, Callum Stewart will be a familiar face to the fans after he made a number of outings in the first XI in last seasons Blue Square Premier campaign. Standing at 6ft 1in, the tall right back will be a real contender for a regular starting place this year.

4 - Erkan Okay - Defender
Erkan Okay
Erkan has been key part of the club, both on and off the pitch, for the past 6 seasons. Having made his debut back in 2004 against Aylesbury United after joining from Ipswich Town, his presence as both a midfielder and a defender has seen him play pivotal roles in winning the Southern Premier and Conference South league titles. This season he will be one of the more senior players in the side, and will look to lead by example.

Oluwafemi  Ilesanmi
On loan from Dagenham and Redbridge, the young defender earned a three year contract with the League One outfit in the summer after impressing in pre-season. The 19 year old defender will be a very useful asset at the back this season for the Stutes.

Lee Wootton
As former Stute Gareth Gwillim went to Dagenham, Lee Wootton came the other way.

Antonio Murray
Antonio is in his second spell with the Stutes after brief spells with Conference South outfit Chelmsford City, and more recently local rivals Cambridge United. The former Hibernian player experienced unprecedented success at Histon in his first spell, scoring 40 goals in 132 appearances and inspiring the Stutes to the championship in the Conference South in 2007. Now returning as one of the more senior players alongside Erkan Okay, Antonio as first team captain will hope he can replicate the sort of goalscoring form he experienced during his first spell at the club.

Affectionately known as “Sparky”, Daniel is another product of the club’s youth system who forced his way into the starting XI towards the end of last season.

Lewis Taaffe
Lewis joins the list of young players who progressed into the first team in the closing fixtures last season having made his debut in April 2010 against Crawley as a substitute.
