Skipper Fleet, 30, proudly hoisted the trophy high last Sunday after their dismantling of St Albans City as the team created history by reaching Step 1 for the first time.
The midfielder has seen a lot in his eight years at the club, not least the recent transformation to one that is now gearing up to take on Non-League’s big boys.
“I’ve been there from the start when the pitch was like a sandpit – it’s mad how much the club has progressed,” Fleet said. “To see it now going into the top flight of Non-League football, and to be a part of that, is amazing.
“It’s a small tight-knit community, a community club. You see the volunteers and they sacrifice a lot as well as us players. So it’s brilliant for, not just us, but the whole club.”
