During his time with Folkestone he won their goal of the season award for an incredible strike against Billericay Town during the 2017/18 season.

McCann will provide both experience and versatility across the Midfield as he can play central and on the wing, and Manager Andy Drury is delighted to capture his signing.

“Kieron is an exceptional talent at this level with plenty of experience. Having played alongside him at Folkestone last year I was able to see for myself how hard he works and how good he is”.

“Kieron will be a fantastic signing for us and I am so pleased that he has decided to join us here at Hartsdown Park whilst there were other offers on the table”.

The Club can also confirm the departure of Defender Crossley Lema. The full-back joined the club from Leatherhead last season and departs with the club’s best wishes for the future.
