Nearly twenty years between goals for Smith of Stow!
Nathan Smith returns to Walthamstow- and scores his first Stow goal for nineteen years, seven months and nine days!
Walthamstow welcomed the return of Nathan Smith last weekend, and he took only thirty one minutes to score in their nine-nil defeat of Lowestoft Town- his first goal for the club since February 17th 2007, which, as the club pointed out, was rather a long time ago. That goal came against Maldon Town, who of course have been part of Maldon and Tiptree FC for more than sixteen years.
Nathan headed back to East London from Pitching In Isthmian South East side Cray Valley PM. He Joined the Millers in the summer from Hashtag United, and played seven times.
Defender Nathan had been with the Tags since March 2023. He made forty four appearances last season, scoring four goals from full back, and that followed forty two appearances and four goals during 24-25, forty nine with five goals during 23-24, and five matches with two goals as the Tags eased to North promotion in the weeks after his arrival.
Nathan has spent most of his career- almost three hundred matches- playing professionally for another bunch of former Isthmians (albeit rather a long time ago) Yeovil Town, and also featured for Chesterfield and Dagenham & Redbridge. Potters Bar Town and Walthamstow fans may also remember him, as he had a spell with the clubs before turning professional, and he also turned out for Dulwich Hamlet, Braintree Town, Concord Rangers and- during the 21-22 season- for Enfield Town, forty two appearances and five goals.
