Dartford boss Tony Burman has been delighted with the impact made by new signing Csaba Somogyi.

The keeper (pictured) joined the Darts on loan until the end of the season after Fulham came to the rescue following Burman's plea.

Burman was left without a senior keeper when Louis Wells failed to shake off an ankle injury.

Wells had only just been recalled to the Darts, to replace Marcus Bettinelli, who had returned to Fulham.

Burman was chasing a new keeper on Thursday and Fulham came to the rescue.

"There were some frantic calls," admitted Burman.

"We thought Louis would be okay, after turnign his ankle, but in training (last) Thursday he said it wouldn't be any good.

"It would have been tough to have gone into those Easter games without an experienced keeper. We asked Fulham about Marcus but he wasn’t available and they offered Csaba instead.

"Against Newport he pulled off a couple of really good saves and was good again on Saturday (against Woking), although he didn't have a lot to do. He has done well and he is a class act."
