More Millers- and they aren't all from Brentwood!
Aveley bring in Kymani Thomas, Aaron Sterling and Shad Ngandu
Aveley's latest trio of signings aren't all from Brentwood Town, although the player exchange between the two clubs continues nonetheless.
The odd one out of the three new arrivals at Parkside is Kymani Thomas, who comes in on loan from Dagenham and Redbridge- but, of course, he was at Brentwood last season! Kymani had a magnificent 25-26 at the Arena, his forty six appearances bringing fourteen goals- including one in the Play Off Final, and those performances earned him a summer move to the Daggers. he was on the bench as the Daggers lost to Brentwood in the Cup on Saturday.
He joined the Blues from Waltham Abbey, where he was in fine form during the 24-25 season, scoring nine goals in thirty appearances and helping the Abbotts reach the Play Off Semi-Final. He was previously at Walthamstow, playing seventeen times with six goals in the second half of the 23-24 campaign, and moved up to East London from Ashford United, where he played twenty two times. Before his Ashford days he turned out for Herne Bay and Dulwich Hamlet.
Aaron Sterling has made five Brentwood appearances this season, following six last season when he joined the club on loan from Leyton Orient. Forward Aaron played for the Under 21 side at Brisbane Road, after previously turning out for the Under 18 side.
He joined Orient as an Under 10, and signed on as a scholar for the first time prior to the 24-25 campaign.
Shad Ngandu is, of course, well known to the Millers faithful. He has only been back at Brentwood for a fortnight, playing three times.
Midfielder Shad made thirty three appearances and scored six goals as Brentwood won the Pitching In Isthmian North title in 24-25. That followed twenty nine appearances and seven goals as the Blues reached the Promotion Final the year before.
He left the Blues to play seven times for Heybridge Swifts last season, and then moved on to Enfield, at that point in Pitching In Southern Division One.
He was previously at Hythe Town, playing forty three times as the Cannons reached the Pitching In Isthmian South East Play Off Final in 22-23.
He ended the 21-22 season at Maldon & Tiptree, making twenty one appearances and scoring two goals after signing from eventual Pitching In Isthmian North champions Aveley. His second spell as a Miller brought nineteen appearances and scored four goals. He made thirty one appearances for the Millers in 2018-19, and another thirty eight in our abortive 2019-20 campaign, when he was rather prolific, scoring fourteen goals from his midfield berth- including a hat trick in victory over then-Parkside tenants Grays Athletic.
During the 2020-21 season he managed seven matches at Brentwood before yet another campaign fell over. He has also played briefly for Great Wakering Rovers, and was rather prolific during a spell with Waltham Abbey.
