Maidstone United have made their second summer signing.
Right-back David Sesay has joined from fellow National League South club Eastbourne Borough.
Sesay appeared in both league games against the Stones last season - George Elokobi’s side winning 3-1 at the Gallagher before losing the return 1-0 at Priory Lane.
But he wasn’t involved in last month’s play-off semi-final which United won 2-1 thanks to a last-minute Aaron Blair goal.
Sesay came through the youth ranks at Watford, signing his first professional contract at Vicarage Road.
He went on to join Crawley, winning the young player-of-the-season award in his first year with the League 2 club.
The defender dropped into non-league with Barnet and also played for Wealdstone and Weymouth before joining Eastbourne.
Sesay can’t wait to get started at Maidstone.
“I’ve played here a few times and the atmosphere’s crazy,” he told Stones TV.
“The fans play a big part here.
“Being on the other side of it was a little bit intimidating in a way.
“I’m looking forward to being on the other side now.
“I’m playing for all the fans and I can’t wait to get going.”
Sesay, who can also play left-back, describes himself as a versatile player.
He likes to get up and down but stressed: “I’m a defender first.”
There’s more good news for Stones fans with midfielder Riley Court signing a new deal at his hometown club.
Court, 19, made 23 appearances last season, setting up the winner in Maidstone’s play-off semi-final win at Eastbourne.
“I can’t wait to get going,” he said.
“I’m hoping to push on and hopefully score some more goals.
“I really want to get one in front of the Genco End.”
John Gilbert became Maidstone’s first summer signing when he joined from Slough last week.
