Chapman and Russell Rams head to Cray

Cray Wanderers yesterday announced the arrival of Ramsgate midfielder Mitchell Chapman and Goalkeeper Jacob Russell.

Mitch made twenty three appearances last season as the Rams narrowly missed out on a play off spot, following seven appearances in the almost non-existent 2020-21 campaign and two after joining the club just before the 2019-20 campaign crashed and burned.

He previously played for East Grinstead Town, at first on loan from Ebsfleet United but later after signing a permanent deal in September 2018. In between that loan and permanent deal he played for Hythe Town, and dureing the 19-20 season made thirteen appearances for Faversham Town and two for the Sevenoaks Town- who he left to become a Ram.

He also spent a short time with VCD Athletic during their last North Division season, 2016-17.

Jacob was an ever-present for the Rams last season, making forty five appearances. That followed three appearances just before the previous season came to a rather premature end. Highly rated, he came through the Crystal Palace youth system, playing Under 18 and Under 23 football before joining the Rams, at first on loan and then later, permanently.
