Ebbsfleet United defender Dean Pooley has joined Leatherhead on loan for a month.

Pooley has only made one appearance - in the Kent Senior Cup - since rejoining the Fleet from Maidstone United in the middle of September.

Ebbsfleet boss Steve Brown said a month ago that he was anxious for Pooley to go out and play games to build up his match sharpness.

Pooley could make his Tanners debut against Lewes in the Ryman League Premier Division on Saturday.

He's likely to line up against his Fleet club-mate Lloyd Harrington, who's coming towards the end of a one-month loan spell with Lewes. That's set to be extended for a second month.
