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 promotion to the Premier League for the first time in the club's history in 2005, leading from the front with 707 runs at an average of 35.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.
