The Bucks squad have been put through their paces by boss Kevin Wilkin during their first week of pre-season.

Wilkin’s men met up for the first time at the National Sports Centre on Tuesday, with recent acquisitions, midfielder George Forsyth and right-back Jared Hodgkiss, taking part.

Forsyth joined from Kettering Town yesterday whereas Hodgkiss signed last week after leaving Hereford United.

The Bucks boss and his players are set to meet up another four times before their first pre-season fixture of the summer, which sees them make the trip to Racing Club Warwick.

Wilkin has spoken of the importance of pre-season games for getting minutes into his players’ legs and helping his squad gel with each other.

Bucks also have trips to Sutton Coldfield, Worcester City and Tamworth while they welcome Notts County, Macclesfield and Kidderminster Harriers to the New Bucks Head.
