Embery announces his Faversham arrival with a goal

Faversham Town's win at Chichester City in the FA Trophy last night saw the only goal scored by a new signing for the Lilywhites, striker Jake Embery.

Jake started his career at Herne Bay, departing the club for Maidstone United aged just nineteen, in February 2019- a highly sought after signing after he scored forty nine goals in eighty five appearances at Winch's Field.

His two years with the Stones were not only hit by the pandemic but also by injury, dislocating a shoulder and suffering an ankle problem which stopped the Gallagher Stadium faithful ever seeing the best of him. He was invited back for pre-season last year, but decided instead to head back to the Kent coast and sign for Margate. He scored four goals in twelve appearances at Hartsdown Park, and then moved on to Horsham, where he played four times. He then played National League South football for Tonbridge Angels, before joining Leatherhead in February, playing three times.

He started this season at Carshalton Athletic, making five appearances.
