Boston United have completed a busy summer transfer window, securing six new signings ahead of the 2026/27 National League campaign. The Pilgrims, who finished 12th last season with 59 points (15W-14D-17L), have bolstered their squad with a mix of experienced defenders and promising young talent.
Who are the new signings?
The club’s latest additions include defender Jamie Grimes (35), who returns on a permanent deal after a successful loan spell last term. Midfielders Ben Hammond (21) and Connor McBride (25) have also joined, along with versatile midfielder Jack Holmes (24), defender George Ward (24), and midfielder Terrell Agyemang (24).
What does this mean for Boston United’s squad?
The signings address key areas of need, with Grimes bringing leadership to the backline and Hammond offering midfield dynamism. McBride’s attacking creativity and Ward’s defensive solidity further strengthen the squad. The Pilgrims, who scored 63 goals last season while conceding 67, will look to improve their goal difference with these reinforcements.
How did last season shape these transfers?
Boston United’s 12th-place finish (59 points) and recent form (4W-1D-0L in their last five matches) suggest a team on the rise. Their last result, a 3-1 win over Hartlepool on 25 April 2026, highlighted their potential. The new signings aim to build on this momentum and challenge higher up the table.
What’s next for Boston United?
With pre-season underway, the Pilgrims will focus on integrating their new players ahead of the 2026/27 season. Manager Paul Holland will be eager to see how the fresh faces gel with the existing squad, particularly as they aim to close the 49-point gap to league leaders York.
