Paxman heads to the seaside

Margate have borrowed Jack Paxman from Pitching In Isthmian South East rivals Croydon Athletic.

Jack joined Athletic in the summer, and has played a dozen times, scoring once. 

He moved to Welling in the summer of 2025, and took the captain’s armband. He made twenty two appearances last season, scoring once, before heading to Canvey Island, where he played twelve times more. 

Jack spent the 24-25 season with Billericay Town, playing thirty six times and coming within a hairs breadth of promotion from our Premier Division. He ended the 23-24 campaign at Ramsgate, making nine appearances and scoring two goals.

Jack moved to the the Rams from Eastbourne Borough. Prior to his time at Priory Lane he was at Ebbsfleet United, where he stayed for almost three years- although that spell included loans at Braintree Town, Dover Athletic and Worthing, and he also spent some time with Billericay- although that was rather fleeting. He joined Fleet from Worthing, but it was at Maidstone United that he became something of a legend, playing a big part in their promotions from our Premier Division and, the following season, from National League South to Premier.

 He spent five years with the Stones, although that did include a loan spell at East Thurrock United.

 Prior to his Maidstone days he spent time with Witham Town and Thurrock, and even earlier that that he was with Southend United. Whilst a Shrimper he spent loan time at Soham Town Rangers and Histon before making a first permanent senior move to Chelmsford City.
