Dartford boss Tony Burman has already had tentative discussions with possible new signings.

But he wants to deal with his own squad first before adding to his squad.

"We want to get things done with our own players first before we look to bring others in," he said.

This season Burman (pictured) could be making more use of the loan market.

Last season defenders Connor Essam (Gillingham) and Luke Wilkinson (Dagenham) made a big impression at the back.

"The two guys we had last season were excellent and their attitude was spot on," said Burman

"The loan system for us is going to be crucial this year because of the transfer window and there are going to be loan players we include in the squad."
