Former Invicta star Smith heads back to the Kent coast

Striker David Smith signs on at Margate- on loan

Striker David Smith was magnificent for Folkestone Invicta last season, manging thirty five goals- form which saw him snapped up by National league Bromley in the summer. And now David is back in the Pitching In Isthmian Premier, having made a loan move to Margate- and may be set to start as they welcome Billericay Town this evening.

David signed for Invicta in the summer of 2020. He was picked up by the stripes after a scintillating season with Ashford United, twenty three goals in forty one appearances- including a four goal haul in one match at Three Bridges.

He moved to the Nuts and Bolts from Dover Athletic, where he didn't really get much of a chance to shine. He moved to the National League side after breaking through at Sittingbourne, and did spent a second spell with the Brickies on loan from Athletic. He came through the Academy at Maidstone United.

He scored two goals in eight matches for Hornchurch earlier this season.

See him interviewed, below.
