Manager: Andy Woodman

Key arrivals: Shamal George (Wycombe, free), Kamil Conteh (Bristol Rovers, undisclosed), Jacob Mendy (Peterborough, free), Chanse Headman (Harrogate Town, undisclosed), Deon Woodman (Wealdstone, undisclosed), Victor Adeboyejo (Mansfield, free), Ethon Archer (Luton Town, loan), Richard Taylor (Bolton Wanderers, loan), JJ McKiernan (Lincoln City, undisclosed)

Expectations: Setting targets is tough after such a rapid rise to League One. With the financial power elsewhere in the division, a sensible goal is to prove their model holds up, claim a few eye-catching results, and secure survival.

Strengths: Bromley have forged an identity around elite fitness, physicality, and set-piece prowess. Woodman’s side can also play through teams when it clicks, and a tight-knit dressing room underpins their approach.

Weaknesses: Many squad members haven’t been tested at this level, and adaptation to League One is the big unknown. Depth up front looks light; while talisman Michael Cheek keeps defying expectations, goals will need to be spread more widely.
