The 26 year centre back joins after a two year spell at Slough Town, arrives with an excellent reputation as one of the most commanding centre-backs in the National League South. A player who has been admired by Chesham supporters whenever we have come up against him, from when he started his senior career at Basingstoke Town, he went on to captain Bracknell Town, leading them to an impressive FA Cup First Round appearance and a second-place league finish, while also lifting the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup.

In the summer of 2023, Bayliss joined Slough Town, where he quickly established himself as a key figure in their defence. His debut season at Arbour Park was outstanding — making over 83 appearances and contributing ten goals from the back. His consistency and leadership earning him the Manager’s Player of the Season award in his debut season. Throughout his time at Slough, Bayliss demonstrated both defensive solidity and an ability to contribute offensively, particularly from set pieces.
