Beckford back with the Brickies
Jay Beckford returns to Sittingbourne
Sittingbourne have brought in Jay Beckford, who becomes a Brickie once more after departing Burgess Hill Town.
Jay, a winger, played as a youth for Leyton Orient and Arsenal, and then spent time in Norway with Lillehammer and Gjøvik-Lyn before a spell in Sweden with Ytterhogdals IK. He then came our way, and spent a short time with Wingate and Finchley, before joining Eastbourne Borough in the closing stages of the 22-23 season. the 23-24 season saw him spend time on loan at Burgess Hill, where he made eleven appearances and scored one goal before moving to Sittingbourne in the summer of 2024.
He played forty one times for the Brickies, scoring two goals and playing a significant part in their fantastic FA Trophy run, before returning to Burgess Hill in March last year. He then helped Hill defeat Sittingbourne in the Play Off Final at the end of that campaign, before playing eleven times last season. He has already made six top flight appearances this season.
