It's Athletic Sambridge once more

Grays Athletic have announced a return for goalkeeper Danny Sambridge.

Danny first joined Athletic in the summer of 2019, and went on to win our Golden Gloves Award on three occasions as well as making more than two hundred appearances for the club. 

He told the club website:

"Saying goodbye to the club was incredibly difficult, so when the opportunity came to return, it was a very easy decision to make. When Mitch reached out to ask if I’d be interested in coming back for next season, there was only one answer.

I know Mitch, Ash and Clarky really well, and I fully believe in what they are building at the club and the direction they want to take it. I’ve missed competing massively, and the chance to be part of something ambitious at a club that means so much to me is an opportunity I’m hugely grateful for. 

I had the chance to be around the group towards the end of last season and attended the final home game against Lowestoft. Seeing the community come together in the way it did made me incredibly proud of the club and excited about what can be achieved here. If we can build on that level of support this season, alongside the hard work being put in by the management team and everyone behind the scenes, I’m confident we’re in for an exciting journey together."

Danny was previously with Coggeshall Town, Heybridge Swifts, Maldon and Tiptree and Witham Town.
