He signed for the Nuts & Bolts in July from another Isthmian South East outfit, Faversham Town.

He started his career with Gillingham, coming through the Priestfield ranks to turn professional in 2007.

He spent time on loan with Ramsgate whilst on the Gills` books and then signed for the Rams on a permanent basis after being released by Gillingham, making 25 appearances in 2008/09.

He went on to turn out for Sheppey United, Herne Bay and Faversham, where he suffered spells out through work commitments before signing for Ashford in the summer.
