Steve Watt a future Maidstone United captain if Stones can make Dover man's loan move permanent
by Craig Tucker
On-loan Dover defender Steve Watt is set to make a
permanent move to Maidstone – and he could be made captain next
season.
Watt, 27, pictured, plays the final match of a one-month loan at
Chipstead on Saturday but United are in talks to keep the
former Chelsea centre-half.
Maidstone boss Jay Saunders said: "It’s looking like we’ll be
able to keep him permanently. His loan’s up after the Chipstead
game and I’m hoping we’ll have something in place by Monday.
"Dover are trying to sign another centre-half and if they get
someone in, there’s a good chance we can get it done or it could be
that we extend his loan.
"Watty’s been brilliant for us. He’s experienced and knows the
game and he’s a threat in both boxes. He’s a great lad and is
captain material next year.
"When Tooting had a man sent off on Saturday, Watty pulled the
players together and was chatting to them. I like things like
that."
