Dulwich Deacon

Dulwich Hamlet had a debutant as they defeated Lewes on Saturday, winger Roarie Deacon playing the first sixty five minutes after his arrival on loan from Havant & Waterlooville.

Roarie came through the youth ranks at Arsenal and then went on to continue his professional career with Sunderland, Stevenage, Crawley Town and Sutton United, his first season at Gander Green Lane seeing United reach the 5th Round of the FA Cup after defeating the likes of Cheltenham Town, AFC Wimbledon and Leeds United on the way to an eventual narrow defeat against Arsenal.

He left Sutton for a season and a half in Scotland with Dundee, before returning to Gander Green Lane and then moving on to Havant for a first spell. He then spent two seasons with Maidstone United, experiencing first a promotion and then a relegation, and returned to Havant at the start of this season.

His loan is projected to last until the end of the campaign.
