Dion of the Dockers

 It seems only days since we announced goalkeeper Dion-Curtis Henry as a new signing for Welling United- and that's perhaps because it is only days! Dion has now made a speedy move away from the Wings, and made his debut for Tilbury on Saturday.

Goalkeeper Dion came through the ranks at Peterborough United before first gracing our league as a loan signing for Soham Town Rangers. He went on to have a loan spell at Boston United before leaving the Posh for Crystal Palace, and whilst at Palace had loan spells at Maidstone United and Hampton & Richmond Borough. When his time as an Eagle came to an end he signed for Billericay Town, then in National League South, following which he went back to the Beavers before a move to Crawley Town. 

He spent a little time at Brightlingsea Regent during the 22-23 campaign, playing twice, and then during the 23-24 season played twenty one times for Hornchurch as the Urchins became our League Champions. Last season saw him play for Hanwell Town and make eight appearances for Sittingbourne before a move to Carshalton Athletic, where he played ten times.

He has played ten times for Brantham Athletic this season, and twice for Welling.
