Tony Burman completes Dartford's close season transfer activity with capture of Teddy Sheringham's son Charlie

Dartford boss Tony Burman says
striker Charlie Sheringham will be the last arrival before the new
season.
The 22-year-old son of former Manchester United and England star
Teddy arrives on a free transfer from cash-strapped Bishop’s
Stortford – who had paid Welling £6,500 for his services just a
year ago.
The former Crystal Palace youngster
scored 26 goals for the Wings in 2008/09 before a 17-goal haul for
Stortford last season preceded a loan switch to Histon in a
cost-cutting measure in February.
Sheringham’s arrival came less than
24 hours after the versatile Joe Bruce became the third Braintree
defender to join the Darts this summer.
Burman (pictured) said: "I’m
pleased with the summer so far. I let some good players go so we
had to bring in good replacements.
"With Jamie Coyle and John Beales
going, I needed another defender and with Joe coming in now I have
the five that I worked with last season.
"Within 24 hours of that, I had the
opportunity to sign Charlie and he was someone who was already on
our radar.
"We have invited a couple of
trialists along to pre-season from July 1, one from Blue Square
North and if things work out, then we might sign someone then."
