Two forwards in a Row

Hartley Wintney have announced the return to the club of attacking duo Kyen Nicholas and Aderi Dede.

Kyen has been with Raynes Park Vale of late. He joined Vale in October and has scored six times in sixteen games.  

Kyen scored five goals in nine appearances for Hanworth Villa earlier this season, following an exceptional 23-24 which saw him score twenty three goals in forty one appearances. There was nine in twenty appearances in the second half of the 22-23 campaign, too, when the Villains reached the Play Off Final. 

He was previously with Hartley Wintney during their Pitching In Southern League days, and also played for Hendon in the same league. Walton Casuals, Dulwich Hamlet, Maldon & Tiptree and Guildford City are amongst his other previous clubs. 

Aderi Arthur-Dede joined the Row in the summer, and played twenty four times with thirteen goals before moving briefly to Hanwell Town. He then moved on to Hendon, playing five times. 

Aderi was at Corinthian-Casuals last season, and scored nine goals in fifteen appearances, but sadly that wasn't enough to save his side from relegation. The 22-23 season saw him play four times for Whitehawk, and he played for Leatherhead during 21-22, scoring three goals in six matches. 

He was previously with Westfield, where he scored seven goals in ten matches during the rather short 2020-21 campaign, and has also spent time with Bedfont Sports, where he was particularly prolific as a youth player. He has also played for Harefield Utd and London Tigers, and spent time as part of the Brentford youth setup.
