Dartford boss Tony Burman has hailed the arrival of two new
defenders and says they could figure together for years to
come.
Paul Goodacre, 25, has joined from Braintree, having started
last season at Bishop’s Stortford, while Tom Champion, 24, has also
joined from the Essex side.
The duo, who formed the Braintree central defensive pairing for
much of last season, join three other former Cressing Road players
– Billy Burgess, Lee Burns and Michael Shinn – on Dartford’s
books.
Burman (pictured) said: "Paul and Tom both have experience in
Conference South over the past few years.
"They have been regulars at Bishop’s Stortford and Braintree and
are both a good age. They could be here for years to come."
"I’m pleased to have added both of them in the squad. With Adam
Flanagan not here next year, it was important to make signings. You
can’t get away with four defenders for a season."
Andrew Young, Burgess, Adam Gross, Burns, Elliot
Bradbrook, James White, Deren Ibrahim and Danny Crouch have
all re-signed for next season.
Lee Noble, Ryan Hayes, Danny Harris, Carl Rook and Adam Burchell
remain under contract.
Two others, defenders Jamie Coyle and John Beales have yet to
commit for the new campaign.
