Centre-back
Rob Gillman - a man who has captained pretty much every club he’s ever
represented – joins from league rivals Lordwood, for whom he made 36 appearances in
2019/20.
He
was formerly with Luton Town, Bishop`s Stortford, Bromley, Dover Athletic,
Thurrock, Greenwich Borough and Whitstable Town.
Another
new signing named by the Boots is Jacob Kalonda.
The
ex-Fisher, Bridon Ropes and Erith & Belvedere man is well-known in the SCEL
and is sure to net plenty of goals for his new club.
Returning
to Welling is goalkeeper Jack Moore.
Moore
had spent the last couple of months of the last campaign with league rivals
Glebe following his departure from the Boots in January.
During
his previous two-and-a-half-year with the club he won many accolades, both
individually and as part of the team.
Pretty
much an ever-present since arriving, he helped them win two promotions in
successive years – the 2017/18 Kent County League Division Two West title and
the SCEL First Division in 2018/19.
He
was also a Cup holder on a few occasions in his previous spell too as Welling defended
the West Kent Challenge Shield and the Kent Junior Cup during a 21-month
unbeaten spell.
Individually,
Moore won just as much with a call-up to the Kent County Rep side, two player
of the year awards and a managers`player of the year award.
He
is also the club record appearance holder with 92 league and cup games under
his belt, yet he is still better known for playing as a centre-back for a
Sunday League side! |
