Sittingbourne boss Gary Abbott wants
to sign youngster Sam Collins.
The 18-year old midfielder, who was at
Ebbsfleet last season, has joined the Brickies on a game-by-game
loan arrangement from Cray Wanderers but Abbott hopes to make it
permanent, after the home derby against Chatham
on Saturday.
Collins, son of former Welling and
Fisher defender Paul, made an impressive debut in the 3-0 win
against Ramsgate at Bourne Park on Tuesday night, their first of
the season in Ryman League Division 1 South but less than 100 were
there to see it.
Abbott said: "Cray can call him back
at any time but he has only got 20 minutes so far this season. I
know his dad well, we had a long chat after the game and he says
the boy just wants to play."
The Brickies boss rang the changes in
midweek after the
4-1 defeat at Bognor on Saturday and confirmed striker Ellie
Kayembe has been released after a fall-out between the pair at the
weekend.
Ross Morley’s 40-yard effort put them
ahead five minutes after the break, Joe Horlock added the second
with Tom Bradbook getting the third.
Abbott said: "Overall it was brilliant
and is what we are all about. That’s the way we want to play and it
could have been five or six by the end.
"Billy Manners is ruled out against
Chatham due to a one-match ban, after being sent-off in the FA Cup
against Andover.
