Willand Rovers are pleased to announce that the 2025/26 Supporters Player of the Season, Josh Ford, has commited to the Rovers ahead of the 26/27 Season.
Josh Ford returns to Silver Street for the 2026/27 season after an outstanding second spell with Willand Rovers Football Club.
Ford rejoined the club in December and quickly re-established himself as a commanding presence at the heart of the defence. His dominant performances, leadership, and consistency at the back played a key role during the second half of the campaign, earning him the club’s Supporters’ Player of the Season award.

Club media caught up with Ben Watson, as we welcomed the second member of the 26/27 squad back to Silver Street, and this is what he had to say: “Delighted Fordy is staying. He is a man mountain, an exceptional defender, and a brilliant person. His experience and winning mentality breeds throughout the team, and he will get the best out of everyone around him. He understands and appreciates our club ethos and will give everything for the badge, which was recognised by winning Supporters’ Player of the Season.”
Having begun his career with Queens Park Rangers Football Club, Ford has built an impressive non-league résumé. He has featured for Melksham Town Football Club, Bristol Manor Farm Football Club, Paulton Rovers Football Club, Frome Town Football Club, Larkhall Athletic Football Club, and Yate Town Football Club, where he captained the side to promotion to the Southern Football League Premier Division South in 2019.
Ford’s commitment is another major boost as preparations continue for the 2026/27 campaign, with one of Silver Street’s most influential performers set to play a key role once again.
