Dogan makes a scoring debut

Hastings United had a new face in their starting line up as they headed to Cray Valley PM on Saturday, and he marked a fine debut with their goal in a one-one draw.

Midfielder Taner Dogan has been our way before. He spent a little time with Cray Wanderers at the end of the 22-23 season, and spent some time with Margate last season, playing four times. 

Prior to his time at Wands he played mainly in Ireland and the USA. He's a Harvard graduate who captained their football team (our football, not their football) and also played for St Louis before heading to Ireland, where he spent time with Dundalk and- on loan- Athlone Town. He went back to the US and played for Forward Madison, and spent time back in Dundalk before that short spell in Cray. He has also played for Eastbourne Borough.
