After
a good performance at full-back whilst on `loan`, the Beachboys made Joe Payne a permanent
signing for 2021/22.
The
21-year-old, who is primarily a left-back who can also play centrally, joined
Potters Bar Town in July 2020 from Isthmian League Premier Division rivals
Enfield Town, where he had been since July 2019 having been on loan from
National League side Barnet towards the end of the 2018/19 season.
He
had been at The Hive since 2010, joining from Wormley Rovers, and he graduated
via the Bees’ youth set-up to make his first team debut in the Checkatrade
Trophy in November 2016, shortly after signing a pro contract.
He
went on to make his full first-team debut at Stevenage on his 19th birthday in
April 2018 and made a total of 8 competitive appearances.
He
has also experienced loan spells at Grays Athletic, Solihull Moors and
Wealdstone. |
