Experienced goalkeeper Nelson, who takes the number one jersey this season, has been ruled out with a calf strain that will delay his start to the new campaign. 

Likewise, winger Browne suffered a hamstring strain during last weekend’s pre-season finale at Corby Town that rules the 22-year-old out.

Both players will miss Town’s trip to Bury on the opening day and join James Bailey and Jake Gray on the sidelines.
