May returns- and Appiah arrives

Mitchell May returned to Sittingbourne on Saturday, making another debut for the Brickies.

He returns to the club from Canvey Island, where his nine League appearances brought four goals. 

Mitchell ended last season with Sittingbourne, his eleven appearances delivering four goals. He left the Brickies for Ramsgate in the summer of 2025, and scored twelve goals in thirty three appearances in our top flight. 

The Brickies, of course, were the Rams closest rivals for the Pitching In Isthmian South East title during the 24-25 season, and Mitchell played a big part in their success, scoring thirty one goals in fifty one matches and, of course, testing himself successfully against higher-division sides in that famous FA Trophy run. He scored in victories over Dover Athletic and Winchester City, as well as playing his part in victories over Enfield Town, Salisbury and Southend United- and he also scored the Brickies goal in their Play Off Final at the end of the campaign..

He managed nineteen goals in thirty three Sittingbourne appearances during 23-24, and six in twelve at the end of the 22-23 campaign. He has also played for FC Romania and Stansted.

He was joined at Woodstock Park by defender Paul Appiah, who also debuted in defeat against Faversham Town. Paul played youth football for Chelsea before joining Aston Villa, where he played for the Under 18 and Under 21 sides. He then moved to Leicester City as an Under 21, and then after a loan spell at Maidstone United moved to Chelmsford City.

Last season saw him turn out for Enfield Town, and a couple of weeks ago he was announced as a new arrival at Billericay Town.
