Midfielder Michael West has returned to Ebbsfleet United for a third spell.

The crowd favourite started his career with the Fleet and has made over 100 appearances for the club in the previous two spells.

He started as a pro with the club before moving to Crewe Alexandra in 2012 and was back in January 2014 although a serious knee injury kept him out for a year.

West went onto play for Whitehawk, Chelmsford City and Eastbourne Borough.
