Ebbsfleet United sign former Charlton Athletic striker Josh Umerah

Ebbsfleet have added another centre-forward to their new-look squad.

They've signed former Charlton striker Josh Umerah, who spent last season on loan at Boreham Wood in the National League.

Umerah played alongside Gozie Ugwu there and the pair are now set to join forces again for the Fleet in 2019/20.

Umerah spent 11 years at Charlton but only made three first-team appearances for the Addicks.

He joined Kilmarnock on loan and played four games in the Scottish Premiership before turning out seven times for Wycombe in League 2 the season before last.

Umerah scored six goals in 22 appearances for Boreham Wood last season and played against Ebbsfleet in Garry Hill's first league game in charge.
