Brendon Cass gets chance to earn longer stay at Folkestone Invicta
Comments |
Neil Cugley hopes new striker
Brendon Cass can provide the goals to earn himself a longer stay at
the Buzzlines Stadium after his arrival from Chatham on a
short-term deal.
Cass scored the winners in his first two Invicta appearances –
the 1-0 wins at Met Police on Saturday and at home to Eastbourne
Town on Tuesday night – Folkestone’s 10th and 11th 1-0 wins of a
remarkable season.
Invicta boss Cugley revealed he had
swooped for Cass after concerns he would not be able to field a
team for Saturday’s game due to injuries and suspension.
He said: "We were looking like we
were going to be without Jimmy Jackson and Simon Austin and we have
a small squad as it is and it would be embarrassing not to be able
to put a team out when you’re top of the league.
"I rang round a few managers and
heard that Brendon might be available. I tried to sign him in the
summer when he went to Chatham, he has always scored a few goals
and I’m delighted to have him here.
"He is here mainly as cover while
Austin is suspended, but we’ll see how things go until the end of
the month and see how we are then. It is only a short-term deal,
but he’s going to want somewhere for next year so we’ll wait and
see.
"Everyone knows our situation and
that we have to use money as best as we can."
Invicta remain a point clear at the
top of Ryman League Division 1 South, but second-placed Croydon
Athletic have to play two games in hand before the sides meet in
the final week of the season.
Jimmy Jackson (shin) missed Tuesday
night but could return against Leatherhead on Saturday but Austin
serves the final game of a three-match ban. Cugley said he could
have the ‘luxury’ of pairing Cass with Austin at Ashford on
Wednesday.
