Goalkeeper Rob French is to join up with Folkestone Invicta for pre-season training.

The former Faversham, Whitstable and Herne Bay stopper is looking for a new challenge and will be looking to impress boss Neil Cugley in the build-up to the new season.

Regular understudy Roddy Hayward will also be looking to push his case for a regular spot following the departure of Jack Delo to join cousin and new Bay boss Sam Denly at Winch’s Field.
Cugley is also in negotiations with a new forward and hopes to complete the deal in the next few days. The player involved has played in the Conference and Ryman League.

The Cheriton Road boss is looking to add to his triker options, as Richard Atkins is set to embark on a round-the-world adventure in September.

Cugley however has lost influential player-coach Darren Smith who has moved to Ryman League Division 1 South rivals Leatherhead
