Brackley Town has lost its promotion heroes, right-back Lyttle and attacking midfielder Roberts, after three seasons. The pair were heavily involved in Brackley's play-off heartache in 2023/24 and their eventual National League North title triumph the following campaign.

What happened?

Roberts joined Brackley Town from Swindon Town in July 2023 and racked up 153 appearances, scoring 25 goals. Lyttle also arrived at St James Park in July 2023, signed from Stourbridge.

Why it matters for Brackley Town

The departure of Lyttle and Roberts comes after Brackley's torrid form at the end of the season resulted in a drop back down to the sixth tier. As of 24 Jun 2026, Brackley Town stands 21st in England National League, with 42 pts, 10W-12D-24L from 46 games, and a recent form of LWLDL.

What comes next?

The club will need to find new players to fill the gap left by Lyttle and Roberts. In a farewell statement, Roberts penned: “So many memories to even list. So many highs and lows - but that's why we love football.” Lyttle also expressed his gratitude to the club, saying: “I can't thank the club enough for giving me the platform to play week in week out for the most part and helping me grow as a player and person.” The last result for Brackley Town was a 3-0 loss to Carlisle on 2026-04-25. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 21st in England National League | | Points | 42 | | Recent form | LWLDL | | Last result | Carlisle 3-0 Brackley Town (2026-04-25) |
