A pair of Cannons

That's two new signings for Hythe, not the UK's entire defence spending for 2020


Hythe Town, who have been in excellent form of late, have strengthened their squad for a tilt at the Playoffs by bringing in midfielder Darren Oldaker and striker Tom Murphy.

Darren is a former QPR Youth player who signed for Gillingham at the end of his time at Loftus Road. He spent four years with the Gills, making twenty one appearances, but left the club at the end of last season and has been with Billericay Town during this campaign. He will be no stranger to the Reachfields faithful as he spent some time on loan there in 2017-18, making fourteen appearances and scoring five goals.

Tom moves down from Premier Division Cray Wanderers. He previously turned out for Gillingham, Margate, Maidstone United, Tonbridge Angels, Farnborough, Lewes and Dartford, joining the Wands in the summer.

He's made twenty seven appearances for Cray this season, scoring seven goals- including two in a five-nil FA Cup thrashing of his new club back in September. Hopefully his new fans can forgive him for that!
