TWO NEW SIGNINGS

To help cement Sittingbourne's play off (or better) aspirations, Gary has signed two new experienced players. Mark De Bolla joins us from Croydon Athletic. Mark is an attacking midfielder who has scored some important goals in his career - none more so than the 2008 play off winner for AFC Wimbledon against Staines Town.
The second signing is that of Marc Clarey. His last club was Maldon Town. Marc, a central defender, has also played for Billericay Town and Maidstone United. Welcome to both players.
