Royston has shown considerable talent since joining the club as a youngster. He left briefly to play cricket in the Premier League with Shenfield but, since his return as captain, he looks set to break all records.

Royston skippered the side to the Premier League and Cup double in 2007.He holds the record for the highest individual score (246), the most centuries (60), the most runs in a season (3,256) and the most catches in a season (45). He passed 20,000 runs for the club in 2003 and has now scored more runs than anybody for the club.

He represented the Essex ECB against Warwickshire and played for the SNEL League team which reached the final of the Sovereign Cup in 2003. Royston toured Australia with the CCC in 2008.
