The players are back in pre-season training ready for the 2022/23 Championship campaign with 28 league and cup fixtures set to come over an exciting nine months.
This season's core squad consists of 17 players who remain from last season, four new faces and the heralded return of our former captain and century club inductee, Michael Le Bourgeois.
Ahead of the new season and in the midst of our first week back in pre-season, we’ve caught up with Booj to discuss his return to Goldington Road, what he learnt from his spell at premiership heavyweights Wasps and why taking a player-coach role at Bedford is the perfect next stage of transition in his career.
