A Rook for the Nuts and Bolts

Ashford United gave a debut to Henry Muggeridge on Saturday, and the midfielder, who moved in from Lewes, played an important part in their two-nil FA Trophy win over Three Bridges.

Henry rejoined the Rooks in the summer, but got to play only once, in a draw at Wingate & Finchley. He was previously a Rook up in the middle of the last decade, making twelve appearances during the 2014-15 campaign and forty three- with five goals- the following year.

He then left the Dripping Pan, and turned out for Crowborough Athletic before signing for Whitehawk, where he has been a fan favourite for the last four seasons. Henry came through the youth ranks at Bristol City, and prior to his first period as a Rook also played for Tonbridge Angels.

By a quirk of fate, his first away game for his new club could be against Whitehawk in the Velocity Trophy tomorrow night.
