IN CHARGE:

WAYNE BROWN WELCOME TO PARK DRIVE FOR THIS AFTERNOON’S FIXTURE AGAINST FELIXSTOWE & WALTON UNITED FOR WHAT IS GOING TO BE A TOUGH FA TROPHY TIE. I’D LIKE TO START BY GIVING STUART, HIS TEAM AND THEIR SUPPORTERS A WARM WELCOME TO PARK DRIVE, ALONG WITH TODAY’S MATCH OFFICIALS. I HOPE YOU ALSO HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY HOME.

Tuesday’s win against Barking was a good reward for the boys, who I thought played well, dominated possession and deserved the victory. We created a number of chances and in the games to come, we need to be more clinical in front of goal. I thought we defended well and had it not been for the penalty, I think Ted and the team would have recorded their first clean sheet since Ted joined the group.

Last season, Felixstowe produced a magnificent run in this competition and, as I mentioned at the start, today’s game will be a tough contest against Stuart’s side, who I know will be well-organised. As they’ve proven already this season, they are also more than capable of scoring a hatful of goals if given the opportunity to do so. They are an experienced group, but I am sure that our team will enjoy the challenge. We are the home team and it’s important that we continue to play in our way, create chances and be clinical in front of goal.

Momentum is key in football and today is a good opportunity to continue our run of wins.

We want to win every game of football we play; cup runs are always a good distraction and, potentially, an opportunity to test ourselves against teams in other divisions as well as

04

MALDON & TIPTREE vs FELIXSTOWE & WALTON UNITED

our own. We did well in this competition last season and, hopefully, we can go one better this time around. Hornchurch, who are only in the division above us, won the entire competition last season, which is a good example of what can be achieved if you believe in yourself.

There were over 190 of you in attendance on Tuesday and the majority of them were home fans, which is fantastic, and this was demonstrated by the cheers and support the boys received as they walked down the tunnel after the game. The team and I really appreciate your support and long may it continue, however, please remember that it is important to be respectful to the match officials and our opposition at all times.

We are at home again next Saturday as we complete a run of three successive home games, with Bury Town visiting Park Drive in the league. Bury have had a good start to the season and I hope to see as many of you as possible at the game to cheer the boys on.

I hope you enjoy the game.

2 1

TUESDAY 5TH OCTOBER | THE PITCHING IN ISTHMIAN LEAGUE NORTH | ATT: 194 The Jammers recorded consecutive victories in midweek, courtesy of a 2-1 win over Barking.

From the first whistle, Wayne Brown’s side were dominant in possession against a Barking team who appeared content to sit with eleven men behind the ball and counter attack when possible. As in recent contests, Maldon created a host of half chances without capitalising; Lordon Akolbire continued his impressive start to the season, delivering a delicious ball into the box early on where neither John Gilbert nor Charlee Hughes were able to convert from close range.

Continuing the Jammers’ joy down the right flank, Akolbire again delivered an inch-perfect cross onto the head of Shomari Barnwell, who planted his header into the hands of the goalkeeper. Malachi Napa was next to create a chance following some fancy footwork, but his shot was blocked by a tackle from behind. Barnwell then went close again, only to see his shot blocked inside the Barking penalty area.

At the other end, the visitors only chances of the half came in the space of just a few minutes. George Purcell’s longrange, swirling shot was well saved by Ted Collins and the rebound was buried, however, Barking’s joy was short-lived thanks to an offside call. Moments later, Collins’ crossbar was struck and, this time, the visitors were unable to convert the rebound.

Four minutes before half-time, Maldon were rewarded with the goal that their performance deserved. A forward pass from defender Joe Turpin wasn’t fully-cleared and, landing at the feet of Napa, the Maldon forward dribbled past his man, into the penalty box and drilled the ball home into the back of the net, with a powerful left-footed strike to give Brown’s side the lead.

06

MALDON & TIPTREE vs FELIXSTOWE & WALTON UNITED

The Jammers had a chance for a second on the stroke of half-time thanks to smart play from Emmanuel Martins which exposed the visiting defence, but Hughes and Bradley McClenaghan were unable to make the most of the opportunity that was created.

After a positive first half, Brown would have been keen for his side to kick on and score the next goal. However, that wasn’t to be and, in the 53rd minute, the visitors were awarded a penalty after Akolbire was adjudged to have fouled Purcell inside the box. Purcell picked himself up to take the spot-kick which was expertly saved

by Collins in the Maldon goal, but Purcell was first to the rebound and tucked it home with ease to level the scores.

The game became a scrappy affair with the equaliser appearing to unsettle the Jammers for a short period, and only another smart stop from Collins ensured that the visitors didn’t complete the turnaround.

Substitute Bryan Ifeanyi began to make an instant impact on the game for the Jammers, and he would play his part in what would prove to be the decisive goal of the game. Chasing down what appeared to be a lost cause, he stole possession from Louis Dillon and drove into the penalty area, crossing for Barnwell to bag his third goal in four games to restore Maldon’s advantage.

Ifenayi continued to create issues for the Barking defenders who appeared unable to cope with his skilful feet, and he next created an opportunity for himself before shooting wide. With minutes remaining, the Jammers continued to defend resolutely to protect their slender lead, despite the visitors camping in the Maldon half.

Barney Williams saw his late effort sail north of the target and the Jammers held on for their second successive win in four days.

CLUB NEWS

BEN REACHES CENTURY MILESTONE Maldon & Tiptree goalkeeper Ben McNamara has reached the milestone of 100 appearances for the Jammers.

McNamara, currently the club’s longest-serving player, reached the landmark a few weeks ago against Hashtag United.

Ben’s spell with the Jammers is now into its fourth season, albeit two of those campaigns were cut short due the coronavirus pandemic. The experienced shot-stopper made his debut for Wayne Brown’s men back on the opening day of the 2018/19 season in a 1-1 draw against Mildenhall Town.

In his century of games for the club, McNamara has kept an impressive 29 clean sheets and has recorded a number of memorable performances, including a match-winning performance against Leyton Orient in the FA Cup First Round. Having previously been the club’s vice-captain, Ben has been instrumental in what Brown’s side have achieved over the last few seasons, performing as an ever-present in the Maldon net.

MARTINS JOINS ON LOAN

Speaking on his achievement, McNamara said: “It’s a nice feeling to reach this milestone. I’ve really enjoyed being on the pitch with some great players and playing in some entertaining football matches.”

Describing his highs and lows at Park Drive, he continued: “Coming close but not quite achieving promotion is the obvious low point. Our FA Cup success, particularly against Leyton Orient, definitely stands out as a major highlight. I think that match definitely brought the club much closer together both on and off the pitch.

“The gaffer provides all of the players with a great footballing education and instils a winning mentality,” he said with regards to the club’s success. “It’s great to receive this recognition as loyalty is important to me as a person, not just in football.”

Ben becomes only the seventh player to achieve this feat since the club’s inception in 2010, and all at Maldon & Tiptree would like to congratulate the shot-stopper on his landmark.

Wayne Brown has strengthened his Maldon & Tiptree squad further in the past week with the addition of 19-year-old Emmanuel Martins.

Martins joins the Jammers on a youth loan from Colchester United and made his debut for Brown’s side in the midweek game against Barking, playing 90 minutes in the 2-1 victory.

The left-sided player only penned a contract with Colchester last week following a successful trial with their U23s outfit and has immediately headed to Park Drive to develop experience in the men’s game, joining a number of other U’s youngsters currently on loan with the Jammers.

CLUB HISTORY NICKNAME The Seasiders FOUNDED 2000 GROUND Dellwood Avenue CAPACITY 2,000 RECENT FORM Grays Athletic (A) Sat 2 October L 0-3 Hashtag United (A) Sat 18 September W 2-0 Hullbridge Sports (A) Tue 14 September W 4-1 Coggeshall Town (A) Sat 11 September L 1-2

Felixstowe & Walton United Football Club aka ‘The Seasiders’ were formed in 2000 following the merger of Felixstowe Town and Walton United.

Formed in 1895, Walton United played at The Recreation ground in Recreation Way Walton while Felixstowe Town, formed five years earlier played at The Town Ground, Dellwood Avenue. The amalgamation in 2000 looked a good marriage for the right reasons. Walton United had just won the Suffolk Senior Cup and were on the up but with nowhere to go as the Recreation ground at Walton could not accommodate Eastern Counties League standard facilities. Felixstowe Town had been renamed Felixstowe Port & Town due to their sponsorship by the Port, but when that was withdrawn in 1999/2000 it left the Town club struggling to recover and maintain Eastern Counties League football.

It looked and proved to be a good decision by both clubs that they therefore merged with Dellwood Avenue becoming their home venue.

It was a struggle in the early years after the merger with relegation coming in 2002, but it offered the chance for the club to regroup

and focus on the future with a growing youth set up and getting the basics right off the pitch and the club regained Premier Division status in 2006 when they finished runners up in Division One. Tied by what can be done at their present home the club always found it difficult to compete with the top sides in the Premier Division with what was the unique task of raising and lowering of the floodlights before and after games and the restrictions placed on the club by the local authorities.

The Seasiders remained positive throughout and now have the lights permanently erected during the football season and have an excellent youth set up including junior non-competitive youngsters at under 8 plus four girls sides and provide sporting facilities on The Peninsula from six through to adulthood.

At the end of the 2016/17 season a new clubhouse opened up pitch side to replace the old one which has transformed the club and by the end of the 2017/18 season, the Seasiders gained promotion to the Isthmian North Division at Step 4 for the first time in the clubs history and finished a respectable mid-table position.

CALLUM ROBINSON

SAM NUNN

MALDON & TIPTREE vs FELIXSTOWE & WALTON UNITED

SAM NUNN DEFENDER Sam originally joined on loan from Stowmarket Town. He has previously played at a higher level for Lowestoft Town, Bury Town and Needham Market.

Sam suffered with injuries last season but Boards and Crumpy had seen enough to make his signing a must.

KYLE JOPLING DEFENDER Kyle joined the club in the summer of 2019 after spending part of the previous season on loan from Colchester United. Another player for the future, Kyle is already a hit with the supporters after his classy displays at the back.

JOE WHIGHT DEFENDER Joe came through the ITFC Youth system before playing for the likes of Needham, Bury and most recently AFC Sudbury where he captained their side. A left sided defender, Joe offers composure, a wonderful left foot and a toughness and desire to defend to the back line.

CURTLEY WILLIAMS DEFENDER Curtley joins the club having last played for Stowmarket Town in 2020.

Prior to this, spells at Lowestoft Town, Dagenham & Redbridge and Luton Town demonstrate the pedigree and experience Curtley possesses. He takes on the role of Vice Captain at the club in his first season with the Seasiders.

JORDAN MATTHEWS MIDFIELDER Jordy, a one club man and a manager’s dream. Equally happy in midfield or in the No.10 shirt. Always gives 110% and somehow covers every blade of grass.

With his fair share of goals and tackles he is a great all round player.

LEON OTTLEY-GOOCH MIDFIELDER Leon signed for the club in 2020 and is another vastly experienced player at step 3 and 4 level. Previous clubs include Leiston, Bury Town, Hadleigh Utd and Stowmarket Town. Leon is very versatile but is predominantly a dynamic midfield player.

NOEL AITKENS MIDFIELDER Noel’s signing for the club last summer caused a stir amongst the non-league world, joining from step 3 Leiston and being described by manager Boardley as “the best midfield player in this area”. Noel is quick, strong, can tackle, is athletic and can really play football!

HENRY BARLEY MIDFIELDER/FORWARD Henry signed for the club in 2019 following his contract expiring at Ipswich Town, another popular young player who had also been on loan from the then EFL Championship club the previous season.

ARMANI SCHAAR MIDFIELDER/FORWARD Armani played for Felixstowe & Walton back in 2016 before moving on to Leiston and then Lowestoft Town where he helped them avoid relegation. Armani has also had spells at Needham Market and brings with him plenty of experience laying at step 3 level.

NOEL AITKENS JOSH HITTER MIDFIELDER Josh signs for us having played his football at Step 3 side Leiston for the past three seasons and gained a vast amount of exposure and experience at that level. Josh is an attack minded player who is very dynamic and likes to arrive in the box late and score goals.

OLLIE CANFER FORWARD Ollie made a dramatic impact when he joined the club in November 2019, signing from Mildenhall Town.

“Canfs” burst onto the scene scoring 9 goals in 13 games. The fans love his non-stop running and desire to cause defensive headaches for the opposition.

BILLY HOLLAND MIDFIELDER Billy started life at Ipswich Wanderers and has had spells at Needham, Leiston and AFC Sudbury. He’s 28 now and in his prime and has joined Felixstowe to push on and win things. Being left sided will bring a real balance to the midfield as well as adding a goal or two.

MILES POWELL FORWARD ‘Milo’ spent the 2014/15 season with Whitton United returning to the Seasiders where he learnt his trade.

Milo has now become one of the most prolific goal scorers the club has ever had.

LAMELL HOWELL MIDFIELDER/FORWARD Lamell signed from Brightlingsea Regent in 2020. He can play on both wings or in the number 10 position and brings pace and trickery to the side. He has previously played for Stowmarket Town, Debenham LC and Brantham Athletic.

GEORGE CLARKE FORWARD George signed at the same time as Sam Nunn, also from Stowmarket Town and has previously played for Ipswich Town, AFC Sudbury, Needham Market, Brightlingsea Regent and Brantham Athletic. George is a powerful player with the speed to match.

RHYS HENRY MIDFIELDER/FORWARD Rhys re-joined the Seasiders in 2020 after a season at Leiston. He played a crucial role in the 2018-19 side playing at step 4 for the first time and has previously played for Ipswich Town, Southend United, Maldon & Tiptree, Needham Market, AFC Sudbury & Bury Town.

ZAK BROWN FORWARD A sought after and highly rated young striker. At just 17, Zak penned a two year pro contract with Ipswich Town where he was a regular marksman in the U23’s. Zak started life in the Seasiders Youth sections and the club are delighted to have him back.

MALDON & TIPTREE

CLUB HISTORY

In 2009, Ed Garty took over the ownership of Maldon Town from Michael Kirkham, whilst still in charge of running Tiptree United and installed Alan Brockhouse as Maldon Town’s new chairman.

Following the takeover, Colin Wallington returned for a second spell in charge of Maldon Town, leaving his post as Tiptree United manager immediately. Colin previously managed Maldon Town from 2003 until 2007, having achieved promotion in the 200506 via the play-off final. Having left Maldon in 2007, Colin went on to manage Tiptree United where he achieved promotion winning the

16

Eastern Counties Division One title in the 2007/08 season. Until the conclusion of the 2009/10 season both Maldon Town & Tiptree United played their home games at Park Drive, under a ground share arrangement.

In the summer of 2010, Maldon Town & Tiptree United amalgamated to form, Maldon & Tiptree Football Club, under the ownership of Ed Garty. As a result of the amalgamation, Tiptree United withdrew from the Essex Senior League, resulting in the club’s last ever fixture being a 3-1 defeat against Enfield 1893 on 24 April 2010. Maldon & Tiptree took

MALDON & TIPTREE vs FELIXSTOWE & WALTON UNITED

the place of Maldon Town in the Isthmian Division One North.

Following the retirement of Colin Wallington, Assistant Manager, Brad King and Glen Knight were appointed as the clubs JointManager. As the pair’s first managerial role, the new club witnessed wholesale changes with only a handful of players remaining who finished the season with Maldon Town and Tiptree United, respectively.

The 2010-11 campaign saw the new club remain in or around the play-off positions for the majority of the season, finishing in eighth

place to finish the season with sixty-three points. Despite the high turnover of players, the good standard of football was maintained and it was in the end, a disappointing end to the season, for the club to fall away in the later stages of the season when suspensions and injuries eventually took their toll to leave the club frustratingly short of the play-off positions at the end of April. The 2011-12 season, proved to not be so successful and in November 2011, King and Knight were relieved of their duties with immediate effect. Ex-Charlton professional Mike Flanagan was appointed as Caretaker Manager and remained in place until the end of the season, steering the club to a respectful mid-table finish, managing thirty-three games and finishing with a win percentage of 49.12%.

At the start of the 2012-13 campaign, Ex-Stansted & Redbridge boss Terry Spillane was appointed as Manager, and Mike Flanagan departed the club.

The change of management, once again brought wholesale changes with the playing squad.

Ex Tiptree United manager, Jody was brought to the club as Terry’s Assistant Manager. After a fantastic and unbeaten start to the season, the club found themselves at the top of the table but an incredible run by eventual Champions Grays Athletic meant Maldon had to settle for a place in the play-offs – Terry’s side remained unbeaten until Boxing Day, when they lost away from home against local rivals Heybridge Swifts. Disappointment came in the play-off final however when they lost a two goal lead to draw with Thamesmead Town, who thenwent on to win the final,on penalties.

After a disappointing end to the previous season, Terry Spillane oversaw more wholesale changes in the playing squad, including the departure of Assistant Manager, Jody Brown. Despite the changes, Maldon finished in ninth position with seventy-six points, winning twenty-one games.

More changes to the playing staff, resulted in poor start to the 2014-15 season, and the club parted ways with Spillane in September 2014, with Chairman, Ed Garty takeover as Caretaker Manager, for three games. At the end of September 2014, Alan Kimble was appointed as manager and remained in charge for the remainder of the season, however the side struggled and more changes in the playing staff occurred. Maldon finished the season in nineteenth place with only forty-nine points.

During the 2014-15 season, Media Officer at the time, Richard Buckby ran a competition for supporters to vote for a club nickname, with the options The River Boys, The Marshmen, The Mudmen and The Jammers available. The vote took place in January 2015 and was featured on National Radio station, TalkSport, with the The Jammers winning the vote with over 50% and being confirmed as the clubs new nickname.

Following the completion of the 2014-15 season, the club linked with Colchester United and the two clubs formed close ties, which resulted in ex Ipswich Town midfielder, David Wright being appointed as First Team Manager.

Wright remained in charge until December 2015 as he was appointed Assistant Manager of Colchester United. Liam Bailey took charge of the First Team on

a temporary basis, only managing one game, which finished four-all against Tilbury on Boxing Day in 2015. Moving into 2016, exLeiston Manager, Steve Ball was appointed First Team Manager and steered the club to a respectable finish in the league table climbing to seventh place, only missing out on the play-off places by nine points.

In the closed season, a change of Management at Colchester United saw Steve Ball appointed as their Assistant Manager, leaving his position of Maldon & Tiptree Manager as a result. Ex-Manchester City midfielder, Kevin Horlock was then appointed as First Team manager ahead of the 2016-17 campaign and for the majority of the season, the Jammers sat at the top of the table before slipping away to finish in second place. Horlock’s side managed to reach the play-off final, however lost to Thurrock one-nil.

The following campaign was not quite as successful for Horlock, with Maldon finishing just outside the play-off places in seventh place, with sixty-nine points.

After managing 112 games, Kevin Horlock departed in the closed season and was replaced by ex-Colchester defender, Wayne Brown. In Brown’s first season in charge, the 2018-19 season, the Jammers finished in second place and reached the play-off final, but lost on penalties against local rivals, Heybridge Swifts.

The 2019-20 season was one to remember for the club, but for the right and wrong reasons.

The club achieved great things in the Emirates FA Cup. Having reached the First Round proper of the competition, Maldon beat League Two side, Leyton Orient away from home, taking over 600

MALDON & TIPTREE vs FELIXSTOWE & WALTON UNITED

17

fans to the home of The O’s, with the goals coming from Danny Parish and a superb solo goal from Jorome Slew. In the second round proper, Maldon were drawn against Football League side, Newport County with the game being shown live on National Television– with the Jammers only beaten by the League Two side, with a goal in stoppage time, with the game finishing 1-0. A record attendance of 1876 was recorded.

However, the 2019-20 season will also be remembered for the wrong reasons. After impressive performances on the field, the Jammers found themselves top of the Isthmian Division One North, thirteen points clear with four games in hand, when disaster struck. With a global pandemic declared, as a result of Coronavirus, the league competition was formally abandoned on 26 March 2020, with all results from the season being expunged, and no promotion or relegation taking place to, from, or within the division. The club were denied a chance of promotion and forced to remain in the Division One North for the 2020-21 season.

ED GARTY STEPPED DOWN AS CHAIRMAN IN OCTOBER 2020 Following the disappointing end to the 2019-20 season, Wayne Brown remained in charge of the club and wholesale changes in the playing squad occurred again, with a number of the previous season’s squad securing transfers to clubs higher up the football pyramid.

The Jammers were dealt a big blow in October 2020 when owner and Chairman Ed Garty stood down from his position with immediate effect, ending a challenging ten years at the helm. After a period of uncertainty for

TELEVISION CAMERAS CAME FOR THE VISIT OF MORECAMBE IN 2020

the football club, General Manager Ron Dangerfield was confirmed as the new Chairman, with Richard Cowling taking ownership of the football club.

Just like the 2019-20 season, the 2020-21 campaign was terminated with promotion and relegation denied for all the sides competing in the Division One North. However, prior to the curtailment the Jammers had reached the Emirates FA Cup First Round for the second successive season, this time losing to Morecambe 1-0 in front of the television cameras. Brown’s side also achieved their longest ever run in the Buildbase FA Trophy, eventually losing to Gloucester City. The Jammers were only able to play in five league games, finishing in third place before the season was curtailed.

Heading in to the 2021/22 season, Wayne Brown remains in charge of the first team and is now the club’s longest-serving manager, holding the record for the most games managed in charge of Maldon & Tiptree Football Club.

An attacking and versatile full-back who rejoined the club in October 2020 from Welling United for his second spell at Park Drive. During the previous two seasons, Kojo was an influential figure within Wayne’s squad as the club reached the play-off final in the 2018/19 season, as well as the top of the league and the Emirates FA Cup second round last term.

Khanye, known as ‘Macca’, joined the club from Faversham Town in the summer of 2020.

The defender started out at Brentford before spending time on the books of Bristol City, Erith & Belvedere, Greenwich Borough, Staines Town and Whitehawk. Macca now moves into his second season to the club, hoping to avoid the injuries that hampered his appearances last year.

Taylor is a young, but commanding, central defender who has previously been with Aldershot Town and Charlton Athletic where he was released in the summer of 2021.

Supporters will recognise Harry as he has featured for the Jammers throughout pre-season.

An attacking, versatile defender who signed for the Jammers on loan from Colchester United, where he has been since being a part of the U’s U15s team. Lordon has become a regular in Wayne Brown’s side so far during his loan spell.

EMMANUEL MARTINS

DEAGO DUNBAR-BONNIE

BRADLEY McCLENAGHAN

AARON WILLIAMS-BUSHELL

A young defender who joins the contingent of Colchester United loanees within Wayne Brown’s side. Martins joins the Jammers on loan having signed for Colchester at the end of September 2021, adding further competition for places within the squad.

Another young addition to the Jammers squad, Deago arrives at Park Drive having been released by Leyton Orient. Plying his trade traditionally at full-back, Deago will be looking to force his way in to the starting eleven.

Bradley is a former Leyton Orient central midfielder who was named as Orient’s 2018/19 Youth Player of the Year before joining the Jammers in the summer of 2020. He played a pivotal role in the club’s run to the Emirates FA Cup first round before losing to Morecambe. One of the team’s leaders who was an ever-present last season, he will be keen to continue his good form in 2021/22.

Williams-Bushell heads into his second season at Park Drive after impressing in the last campaign, scoring several Goal of the Season contenders.

Aaron has shown his versatility whilst being at the club and will look to cement his place in Wayne’s starting eleven this term.

SAM CORNISH

SHOMARI BARNWELL

SCOTT KEMP

CHARLEE HUGHES

A familiar face to many at Park Drive, Sam rejoins once again from Colchester United. The lively central midfielder has had previous spells at Park Drive and was instrumental in the team last season that recorded our longest-ever run in the FA Trophy.

An experienced centreforward who joined the club in July 2020 having previously played for the likes of Bowers & Pitsea, Grays Athletic and Great Wakering Rovers.

Shomari is a fast and athletic forward who was the Jammers’ jointleading goalscorer in last season’s short campaign.

Scott heads into his second season at Park Drive after joining from local neighbours Witham Town in 2020. He made the move having scored 14 goals in 2019/20 as Town’s captain.

Comfortable across a number of forward positions, Kemp will be looking to improve upon his goals and assists tally in 2021/22.

A name all supporters will know and remember well, Charlee rejoins the Jammers after a season away from Park Drive at Wealdstone. Hughes featured heavily in the 2019/20 season when Brown’s side reached the FA Cup second round.

During his first spell with the club, Charlee recorded 30 goals and is only 11 behind the club’s all-time leading goalscorer.

LASTE DOMBAXE

JOHN GILBERT

MALIQ JIKIEMI

JAYDEN BEALES

A fans’ favourite, toughtackling, controlling midfielder, Laste returns for the 2021/22 season after having a short break away at Haringey Borough. In his first spell in the club, Dombaxe appeared over 50 times and was instrumental in the Jammers leading the way in the Isthmian Division One North and reaching the Emirates FA Cup second round.

Gilbert, an energic midfielder, joins the Jammers following previous spells with Met Police, Aylesbury United and Whyteleafe. John has previously been on trial with a number of professional academies and arrives at Park Drive looking to force his way back into the professional game.

Maliq arrived Park Drive in August 2021, having recently been with Crawley Town. Amongst his previous clubs, Jikiemi includes Walton Casuals, Aldershot Town and Sutton United. The attacking wide-man has featured heavily throughout pre-season for the Jammers.

Jayden arrives at the club having previously had spells with Concord Rangers and Grays Athletic.

Some supporters may recognise him following a stint on the hit ITV show, The Only Way Is Essex.

With a loud voice in the dressing room, Jayden’s leadership qualities will be key for the Jammers this season.

BRYAN IFEANYI

TYRELL LOWE

MALACHI NAPA

BRIAN MOSES

A young and exciting forward who arrived in August 2021 on loan from Colchester United.

Bryan is set for a bright future and will look to adapt quickly to his first taste of men’s first team football. Previously, Ifeanyi was with Leyton Orient’s academy.

Lowe is an attackminded player who has previous experience with Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace. Lowe has featured for the Jammers throughout pre-season and will be keen to make a quick impression on the club’s supporters.

Malachi is an exciting and tricky forward who has previously been with Oxford United and Woking, whilst also spending time on loan at North Leigh, Hampton & Richmond Borough and Macclesfield Town. Napa made his professional debut for Oxford in 2017 in the EFL Trophy. In his youth career, Napa also spent at Reading.

Standing at an imposing 6’ 7”, Moses joined the Jammers in September 2021 from league rivals Tilbury. His previous clubs also include Basildon United and Cheshunt, where he achieved promotion scoring in both the play-off semifinal and final. Brian will certainly bring extra height and physicality to Wayne’s squad.
