Terms have already been agreed with Lee Harper, Nicky Eaden and Tommy Jaszczun – all subject to deals bei
ng finalised – while Chris Beardsley, Jean-Paul Marna, David Galbraith, Guy Branston and Jon Brady are under contract at the A-Line Arena.
Andy Hall and Nick Bussey have been released along with Anthony Robinson and Gary Mills as the former Rushden & Diamonds midfielder links up again with Graham Westley on his return to Stevenage Borough.
Poppies boss Mark Cooper said: "We might have to get two out to bring one in for more quality.
"Watching the Conference play-off semi-finals has opened my eyes a little bit over the standard we need to reach next season.
"I'm looking at three or four signings – although we might have to wait over the summer until players are struggling to get contracts.
"I've identified targets at the moment. But we are not in a position to outbid anyone. We will need to stay patient and I'm used to all that."
