Retford FC can this morning confirm that Nico DeGirolamo has committed to the Choughs for the upcoming season, adding another major piece to the defensive core ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
Since arriving at the Rail, Nico has become one of the most reliable and well‑rounded defenders in the squad. His reading of the game, physical presence, and calmness under pressure have made him a standout performer — but it’s not just his defensive work that makes him invaluable.
Nico has also shown a real eye for goal, scoring 19 times in 62 appearances for Retford. While attacking set‑pieces he has consistently contributed at the other end of the pitch, giving the Choughs an extra dimension.
Next season he will form a key part of the back line alongside Liam Bennett, creating a strong, experienced defensive partnership as the club looks to build on last year’s success.
Nico’s commitment is another significant boost as preparations continue for the new season — and another big player showing his desire to push forward with the Choughs.
