Davis has already signed full-back Jack Paxman, 21, and striker William Johnson-Cole, 24, from Margate and Punjab United respectively.

“I am delighted to get Steve to sign for Ramsgate Football Club,” Davis told www.ramsgate-fc.co.uk.

“He was attracting a lot of attention from many clubs at different levels. I have seen Steve play three times this year and he really stood out to me.

“At six foot three he is very quick and a real handful at the front. He is a brilliant addition to our squad.”

Ramsgate chief executive officer Paul Bowden-Brown added: “I would like to extend a warm welcome to Steve and thank him for agreeing to personal terms that bring him to our great club.

“Steve is a well-established player and is a goalscoring legend, especially while he was playing for our local rivals Whitstable Town last season.

“Nick has been very busy this week with signings and I am pleased that Richard Lawson (the owner) and I can support Nick in his endeavours of putting together a winning squad.”
