Aveley man new at United

Hastings United have announced a dual registration deal for Aveley's Alex Kpakpe.

Defender Alex is a former Chelsea youth who has also had a dual registration deal with Wingate and Finchley this season. He played three times for the Blues in December.

He left Chelsea in 2022 and joined Glasgow Rangers for six months, before returning south and spending some of last season with Hitchin Town. He signed for Aveley in the summer, and has made fifteen appearances this season. We have also seen reference to a spell with Hampton and Richmond Borough, but we can't find any other record of that.
