We’re delighted to welcome goalkeeper Joe Coleman to Deal Town from Herne Bay.
Joe brings valuable experience, having impressed at both Hythe Town and Herne Bay over the past two seasons. He joins with James Tonkin needing time to recover from a groin injury he has been playing through.
Manager Steve King said:
We’re delighted to bring Joe in. Everyone we’ve spoken to about him has been full of praise, and we’re looking forward to working with him.
Tonks has been struggling with a groin injury and now needs time to recover. As with every position, competition for places is crucial, and Joe will strengthen our goalkeeping options.
We were also delighted with Kye’s performance on Saturday and are currently looking to agree a dual-registration arrangement so he can play regular first-team football.
Welcome to the Charles Ground, Joe — we look forward to seeing you in a Hoops shirt!
