Heybridge Swifts are delighted to announce that exciting winger Henry Hart has verbally agreed a deal to join the club ahead of the 2026/27 season 🖤🤍
Joining from Romford, Henry impressed during our showcase fixture with his direct attacking play, catching the eye of @Luke_Wilson89 and the management team.
A young player with plenty of ability, Henry will now get the opportunity to show even more of his qualities in black and white next season.
Welcome to the Swifts, Henry!

Following today’s announcements, manager @Luke_Wilson89 has shared his thoughts on the appointments of David Patient and James White ahead of the 2026/27 season.
“I am incredibly excited to announce that both Dave Patient and Whitey will be joining my staff for the upcoming season and beyond.
Building a team from scratch over the last few weeks has been a relentless task, but it was essential to find players and staff who match the ambition and standards this club demands. I know firsthand how vital it is to surround yourself with people you can trust; I know for a fact I can rely on Whitey to help drive our standards and instill a ‘never say die’ mentality across the squad. We have set clear targets, and with these two alongside me, I am confident we will achieve them.
Our focus now turns to finalising a squad capable of competing at Step 5, as well as making a real impact in the FA Vase, a trophy we know is deeply important to everyone here.
After meeting with over 40 players in the last few weeks, we are now in a position, pending official announcements, to say we have a team ready to go to war for the badge. More importantly, they are ready to play for the fans and this community. It is more important than ever that we come together and work as one.
Looking ahead:
June: We will be hosting several open sessions where you can meet the players.
July: We’ll host a family BBQ and a ‘meet the team’ event during a fixture (Date TBC).
I look forward to seeing you all in the coming weeks. I know you will be over the moon with the group I’ve assembled. This is the start of an incredible new build, and I want to personally thank Alex and Steve for their continued trust in my vision.” ⚫⚪
