Dartford manager Tony Burman has completed the signing of 25-year-old centre-back Paul Goodacre from Braintree.

The highly-rated defender started last season at Bishop's Stortford and is an accomplished performer at Blue Square South level.

He becomes Dartford's first signing of the close season, although the Darts boss has also agreed new deals with keeper Andy Young, Billy Burgess and Adam Gross.

Burman (pictured) said: "Paul has played at Conference South level for the last few seasons and will be an excellent addition to the squad."
