Boro
boss Shaun Gale has signed much-travelled Grenada international striker Elliott
Charles and brought in two young players on loan from SkyBet League One
neighbours Portsmouth.
Charles (pictured) started his career with Welwyn Garden City and then Barnet, going on to make 8
first-team appearances for the Bees.
Spells
with Kettering Town, Concord Rangers, Eastbourne Borough, Dover Athletic,
Staines Town, Hendon and Metropolitan Police followed before he re-joined
Hendon for the second time in 2016/17 season.
He
spent the early part of the following season with Ware before joining Hampton
& Richmond Borough.
Spells
with Braintree Town and Wealdstone followed before he re-joined Hendon in 2018.
Charles
has twice played for his country, in two qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup,
against Belize and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Midfielder
Gerard Storey and winger Eoin Teggart have joined Boro initially for one month.
Storey
joined Pompey in 2019 from Portadown and Teggart signed at the same time from
Cliftonville. The pair have represented Northern Ireland at under-17 level.
The
two Pompey scholars have both featured already in Boro’s pre-season programme.
Gale told https://www.gosportboroughfc.co.uk: “The two youngsters have impressed in
the friendlies and we’re delighted to give them an opportunity here. Storey is
a good passer and has already gained a bit of experience in men’s football,
while Teggart is quick and direct, with a great delivery.
“We
are looking to build our relationship with Pompey, as both sides can see there
is the potential there for Gosport to help to bring their young professionals
through, while giving our club access to quality players”. |
