Ollie Gray has re-joined Whitstable Town.

Defender Gray, who made his debut during his first spell with the Oystermen in August 2014, will link-up with Whitstable boss Lloyd Blackman again, having worked with him at Ramsgate.

Blackman told Whitstable's website he was thrilled to have signed Gray ahead of the start of his side's 2020/21 season.

"I’m delighted to have signed Ollie Gray," he said.

"He’s one the fans will know very well.

"He was very keen to join up with the group because of his strong passion for the club and I’m pleased to work with him again.

"He has a fantastic attitude and is a player who offers excellent versatility, and his effort and desire cannot be understated."

Blackman has also revealed goalkeeper Dan Eason, Tom Bryant, Jake MacKenzie, James Brown, Ollie Rowe, Leo Mazzone, Luke Girt, Charles Etumnu, Tijan Jadama, Liam King, Aaron Millbank and Harry Stannard have committed to stay with Whitstable when the new Isthmian South East season gets under way.

But one player who has left Town this summer is winger John Ufuah who has joined Isthmian Premier Division outfit Margate.

Whitstable will kick-off their pre-season against Rusthall on Saturday, August 8, before they host Hawkinge Town three days later.

They then visit Deal on August 18 and have home matches against Cray Wanderers on August 22 and Margate on August 25.

Folkestone Invicta are the visitors on September 1 and Blackman's side will also visit Chipstead on September 5 ahead of a potential September 19 start date for their new campaign.

At present, all matches will be played behind closed doors.
