In addition to his captaincy, Abu Ogogo has signed a new three year contract to keep him at Victoria Road until 2015. There have also been deals for first teamers Billy Bingham and Brian Woodall, and hot prospect Dwight Gayle who seems more than ready to feature in the first team.
Wins at Gresley and Dover for the first team have provided ideal preparation for the new season with August on the horizon. The question on everyone’s tongues is where can the Daggers finish come May 2013?
