Following an opening day 1-1 draw with Leamington at the Tameside Stadium, Mark Bradshaw’s side will look to take a first victory on the road.

After two seasons away, Telford return to step 2 this season after being promoted from the Southern Premier Division following a 4-2 play off final win over Kettering. In the Bucks’ opening league game at promotion hunting King’s Lynn Town, Telford produced a hard fought 1-1 draw after a Matty Stenson penalty secured a point on the road.

Over the summer Telford have strengthened with the signings of, Alex Fletcher from Tamworth, Khanya Leshabela from league rivals Bedford, Adam George from Halifax, Charlie Williams from Stratford and Jamie Meddows from Bromsgrove Sporting. Alfie Brooks, Emmanuel Ilesanmi and Freddie Cook have all come in from Premier League 2 teams Stoke and Derby, with Cook signing from Cardiff City.
