Management
Vinny Murphy, Manager: Took over the role in December 2023 following an extensive non-league playing career. Had three spells playing for Stow across ten years, and also played for Redbridge, Enfield and Southend Manor, amongst others.
Tony Murphy, Assistant Manager: Older brother to Vinny, and now in his second spell with the club. A vastly experienced coach who brings a great passion to the management set-up.
Loui Hazlewood, Coach: A very experienced player, who played as a midfielder for Thurrock, Billericay Town, Romford and Aveley. Scored the final goal in 3-1 win for Redbridge over Stansted, which ended up securing the Essex Senior League title for Stow.
Stephen Walters, Coach: Now in his second season with the club, a valuable asset and key part of the management team.
Goalkeepers
Lewis Greene: Returns to the club where he made his senior debut over a decade ago. An Essex Senior League winner with Hullbridge Sports, has also played for Redbridge and Brightlingsea Regent.
Defenders
Kai Davis: Now in his third season at Stow, where he has become a real favourite with his combative and relentless wing-back play. Has also played for Westfield, Hanwell Town and Harrow Borough.
Alieu Njie: Former Blackpool youngster who signed for a second time towards the end of last season. Has also played for Potters Bar Town and Wingate & Finchley.
Jordan Peart: Electric wing-back who signed from Grays Athletic towards the end of last season. Has also played for Barking and Aveley. A former sprinter, who can also play further up the field in an attacking role.
Kevin Songolo: Defender who came through the youth system at Harrow Borough where he broke into the first team. Has also played for Tilbury, Barking and Hayes & Yeading United.
Te Wihongi: New Zealand international with eight caps who joined in Autumn 2022. Has impressed with his composure and physical presence at the back and has become a key part of the defence.
Midfielders
Ezra Agyiri: Winger who progressed from our cup-winning reserves, where he was one of the stand-out players. A pacey, direct winger who will be looking to establish himself in the first team.
Jaiden Babalola: Box-to-box who signed at the start of the season from Redbridge. Has also played for Romford and East Thurrock United.
Ade Cole: Club captain who signed towards the end of last season and immediately elevated the squad. A classy, box-to-box midfielder, he has spent most of his career in the upper reaches of the pyramid.
Louie Johnson: Younger brother of Bradley, who started off in E17 before making almost 600 Football League appearances. A tricky, direct midfielder, Louie won the Essex Senior Cup with Redbridge last season, and the Essex Senior League with Enfield the season before.
Bobby Rea: A young winger who impressed so much for Stowmarket when he played against us that we signed him up. A product of the AFC Sudbury youth system.
Johnville Renee: A versatile player who can play almost anywhere on the pitch, but will predominately feature in midfield. Signed from Hornchurch and has also played for Enfield Town. Was with Stoke City as a youngster.
Jared Small: A vastly-experienced player who joined from Harlow Town. He has played for Tonbridge Angels, where he gained promotion to the National League South, as well as Brentwood and Enfield Town. Can play at the back, in midfield and up front, so is a key part of the squad.
Kymani Thomas: Tricky, direct winger who signed from Ashford United. Has spent most of his career playing south of the river, despite being a local lad. Scored on his debut against Lowestoft Town, and continued to impress in the second half of last season.
Forwards
Callum Ibe: Now in his third spell with the club, Callum can play anywhere across the forward line and in midfield, and has become a real fans favourite thanks to his work rate and never-say-die attitude. Scored some vital goals and recently made his 150th appearance for Stow.
Brian Moses: Rangy forward who is now in his second spell at the club following a stint in 2015 where he was top scorer. Has recently won promotions with Cheshunt and Redbridge.
