FAVERSHAM TOWN boss Terry Cordice is believed to be tracking Graham Taylor ahead of the re-formed club's debut season in the Kent League.

TWO GOOD...Graham Taylor was an instant success at Salters Lane, scoring twice on his only appearance

Cordice has repeatedly refused to name names when quizzed about his transfer targets but this week dropped a massive hint that Taylor will be at pre-season training which starts at Salters Lane on on Tuesday, 27th June.

He said: "I've been in touch with a number of players this summer and I am really excited about the new season.

"Again, I don't want to name names but what I can tell you is we have several exciting new players coming along to pre-season training including one striker with Southern League experience. I am keeping my fingers crossed he likes what he sees and decides to stay this time."

That would appear to suggest that Cordice has had talks with Taylor who scored twice on his one and only appearance for Town last season on loan from Ramsgate - a performance that earned the Lilywhites a 2-2 draw with Cray Valley in August

ON THE BALL...Graham Taylor

Cordice has made no secret of his desire to sign the tall forward he worked with at Maidstone United on a permanent basis.

He added: "Many things can change during pre-season. Players always like to have a look around and see where they are most comfortable. Hopefully, we can persuade some quality players that Faversham Town is the place to be next season."

Cordice is also hoping to bring in a new coach following the departure of Rob Udberg to Sittingbourne where he has accepted the post as manager Steve Lovell's No 2.

He said: "We have someone in mind for the post - a recently retired player with Conference experience. Again, we are hoping that he likes what he sees at Salters Lane during pre-season.

"That's the same for a number of other new recruits who have expressed an interest in coming to Faversham Town for the new season."

Cordice has seen the last of Rikki and Ross Cable but insists that almost the entire class of 2005/2006 will be back for a rookie assault on the Kent League.

He said: "Ross and Rikki have left and Matt Tallon has decided to find a club closer to his home in east London but, those three aside, the rest of the lads will be back this summer.

"The more the merrier, I say. Anyone who thinks they are good enough to play Kent League is welcome. If you're good enough, you'll play - simple as that. I am buzzing, we can't wait to get started."
