Wanderers kick-off their pre-season schedule with a trip to non-league side Longridge Town (KO 7:45pm).

The fixture follows a week-long training camp in Portugal as the Whites prepare for the upcoming League One season.

Ian Evatt has managed to keep hold of his prized assets so far, with captain Ricardo Santos putting pen to paper over a new three-year deal.

Jack Iredale is also set to make his debut after signing on a free transfer following an impressive season at Cambridge.

He was the only new addition to make the trip to Portugal, with James Trafford and Liverpool loanee Conor Bradley staying at home due to international duty.

Admission at the Recycling Lives Ground will be pay on the gate, with tickets priced at £10 for adults, £7 for concessions, £5 for ages 12-18 and £2 for juniors. Gates will open at 6pm.

There are no parking facilities at the ground but supporters can park at Longridge Civic Hall, which is roughly a 10-minute walk away.

Wanderers also kicked off pre-season at Longridge last summer, recording a 3-1 victory thanks to goals from Harry Brockbank, Amadou Bakayoko and Ronan Darcy.

The Whites will wear their new home kit for the first time, which celebrates 25 years since the club moved from Burnden Park to its current home in Horwich.

The strip features an embossed design of the stadium silhouette as well as the logo of new sponsors Service My Car.

The new kit is now available to pre-order online, with shirts priced at £50 for adults and £42 for juniors.

Evatt’s men also have a friendly against Chorley at Victory Park coming up on Saturday (KO 2pm).
