Gary Abbott brings new goalkeeper to Sittingbourne

Sittingbourne boss Gary Abbott
appears to have solved his goalkeeping problem by signing Steve
Northwood.
The former Thamesmead man played for
an hour in the 1-0 pre-season friendly defeat at Carshalton on
Tuesday night, and looks set to start the season as first choice
with former England under-19 international Adam Molloy as
cover.
Northwood joined Thamesmead for a
second time last season, and has also had spells with Maidstone and
Cray.
Abbott, pictured, has also moved
for Lee Hockey and Lawrence Harvey, who were left without a club
following Ashford’s demise. Hockey returns to Bourne Park after
following former boss Steve Lovell to Homelands in December 2007.
Harvey is expected to sign next week.
Jimmy Bottle and last season’s top
scorer Hicham Akhazzan both played returned at
Carshalton.
Abbott said: "Jimmy has changed his
job, and has been sorting out his shifts, while Hicham coming back
is also good news. Faversham came in for him about a month ago, but
we had a chat and he agreed to stay.
"We played really well, such a big
difference to the Hythe game, and I took a lot of positives out of
it."
Young defender Nick Coles had
stitches in a badly cut eye, after a clash of heads at
Carshalton.
Bourne travel to Essex side Maldon and
Tiptree tomorrow (Saturday) and host Maidstone in their final
pre-season friendly on Monday night.
