A new winger for the Brickies

Prior to kicking off at the weekend, Sittingbourne announced the signing of winger James Bessey-Saldanha.

James signed for Margate in the summer, and has made eighteen appearances for the club, scoring twice. 

It was his second spell at Hartsdown Park, as he made thirty appearances for Gate during the 22-23 season, following forty seven during the 21-22 campaign. 

He then moved on to Sheppey United, spending last season with the Ites, where he made forty four appearances and scored three goals- one of them coming against Walsall in the First Round of the FA Cup. 

James ended the 22-23 season on a dual registration deal at Bearsted in the SCEFL, making five appearances- his second spell with the club. Prior to his first spell at Margate he was with Sevenoaks Town.
