The club is preparing for a return to the Bostik League in 2018/19 and player/manager Carl Davies has boosted the clubs forward line with the addition of the 12 goal Kingfishers attacker.

Helmore has been a regular in the first team at Waterside Park for the last three seasons scoring 22 goals in 40 games in the 15/16 season, 13 in 33 during 16/17 and 12 in 24 last season as Thatcham won the Hellenic League Premier Division and the FA Vase at Wembley.
