"Luke has joined us from Ludlow and is keen to play a higher level of hockey, while we have some young players coming up from the second team.
The ladies' first team start their season away to Old Silhillians II on Saturday.
"The aim is to finish higher than last season. We don't know what the other teams are looking like but we are aiming to get in around the top three or four."
The club will again be running run five men's teams and three women's teams.
After this weekend's clash at Bromsgrove, Bridgnorth's first home game the following Saturday will see them take on Shropshire rivals Telford & Wrekin II, who powered to the Division 4 West title last season.
