Deal Town FC

16th October 2025

The club can confirm that two of our summer recruits have now decided to moved on, in search of more regular first-team football.

Mefose Esumobi, previously signed from Corinthian, made 11 appearances for the club this season; starting in five games and coming off of the bench six times. 'Mef' contributed with a solitary goal, coming in our 2-1 away victory over Herne Bay on the 25th August 2025. 

Jack Palmby joined the Hoops from Bearsted, where he has now returned. 'Palms' made 15 appearances for us this season, with six starts and nine from the bench. 

Both players move on with our very best wishes and we thank them for their contributions this season.

We are, of course, naturally delighted to confirm that midfielder Jack Hanson has now fully recovered from his long-term injury. Hanson missed the whole of last season following surgery and rehabilitation, prior to joining Kennington on-loan earlier this season to gain some valuable match fitness. Jack made his long-awaited return to the 1st team on Tuesday evening, coming on as a second-half subsitute in our 1-0 victory over Ashford United.
