A pair of Beachboys

Concord Rangers have announced the signings of Kacper Gruszczyński and Kian Cocking.

Kacper, a full back, came through the youth setup at Lincoln City, spent some time plying his trade in his native Poland, and then played for Hemel Hempstead Town and two of our clubs. He was at Herne Bay briefly during 22-23, playing three times, and also spent time at Bowers and Pitsea briefly, playing once. He was then off to White Ensign of the Essex Senior League before moving to Maldon & Tiptree at the start of last season, playing only once, then spent time at the Beachboys, playing eleven times, before ending the campaign back at Bowers, playing nine times. 

Midfielder Kian makes the move from Aveley. Kian came through the Millers youth system, joining the first team squad and signing his first senior contract in January 2024. He was with the Beachboys on loan last season, making sixteen appearances, and this time returns permanently.
