Another Wand becomes a Rook

Lewes have announced another signing, and once more a player has made the trek south from Cray Wanderers to join former Wands boss Tony Russell, as he builds a squad for his first season at the Dripping Pan.

The latest arrival is midfielder Bradley Pritchard. Bradley has been with Wands since July 2018, and was an immediate success, making thirty six appearances and scoring five goals as they won the Isthmian South East Division title. His fabulous form continued in the Premier Division, and he played thirty seven times as his side finished the prematurely-ended 2019-20 campaign in second place, before making another ten during our very short 2020-21 campaign.

Bradley made his name with Charlton Athletic, a key part of the side which won League One in 2012, and after leaving the Addicks he spent two years with Leyton Orient before heading to the Isthmian League with Greenwich Borough.

Tony Russell was delighted with his new signing, telling the Rooks website:

"I am over the moon that Pritch has agreed to sign for us. He is not only one of the best players at Step 3 on the pitch but off it too. He will bring good quality, high energy football and he chips in with a few goals when making late runs into the box. He is a brilliant all-round player who I'm sure will quickly become a fans favourite!"
