Thursday 24th June 2010

MAIDSTONE UNITED boss Peter Nott has today unveiled the signing of the versatile Simon Glover, who has signed from Chelmsford City, writes Stephen McCartney.

The 28-year-old, who can play in a whole range of positions, and has a wealth of Conference and Ryman League experience, having previously played for Wycombe Wanderers, Welling United, Dover Athletic, Folkestone Invicta, Heybridge Swifts, Ashford Town, Bromley and Tonbridge Angels.

“Simon missed a large part of last season through injury but recovered in time to feature in the end of season play off games for Chelmsford,” Nott told www.maidstoneunited.co.uk.

“Simon lives in Maidstone and is delighted to be joining his home town club that his late father John Glover served so well in the 80s, and without doubt his versatility and leadership will be a great asset to the team.”

Nott also spoke about the club’s new signings.

He said: “We have agreed terms with full back Rob Carter to join us from Thamesmead Town. Rob previously played for our Ryman youth team and Reserve teams and during that time he was an ever present for England Schoolboys including an appearance at Wembley.

“He reluctantly left at the start of last season to join Bromley before eventually signing for Thamesmead. Rob is a very committed player and can't wait to get back into a Stones shirt.

“We have also been in discussions with Welling United to allow promising youngsters Jake Hobbs and Adam Marsh to train with us during the pre season with a view to both players signing on a dual registration basis.

“Jake can either play up front or wide right and netted five times in 17 games for Welling last year in the Conference, whilst Adam is a centre forward who netted four goals in three Kent Senior Cup games for Welling last season.

“One player that will not be featuring for us next season is Chris Saunders who has decided to join up with Cray Wanderers, unfortunately due to injury Chris never managed a settled run in the team since joining us late last season but he is a great lad and we wish him all the best.

“The squad is shaping up well now and we have also invited some other players along to pre-season training ,so competition for places will be high which is a healthy situation.

“We report back for training at Cobdown on the 6 July and we expect to see all of the boys come back in good shape so we can get off to a great start.”
