Popular Joe Thornton is one of just four players retained by Handsworth.
Thornton, who can play in almost every position, from striker, left-winger, left-back and even stand-in goalkeeper, remains with the Ambers along with Leon Howarth, Harry Mitchell and Parirs Dixon.
Thornton has now been playing in the semi-professional game for over ten years and his experience will come in handy for Handsworth this season as their squad contains a lot of young players.
Thornton has played under managers such as Eric Gilchrist, Simon Houghton, Billy Fox and Craig Elliott, as well as Jason Dodsworth.
