Hayden reunites with Harry...

...but the former Merstham man will be pulling on a K's shirt for the first time


Kingstonian have announced the signing of defender Harry Osbourne from National League South side Braintree Town.

Osbourne was a key part of Hayden Bird's Merstham side that reached the Isthmian Premier Playoff Final last year- indeed we were surprised when he didn't move to King George's Field in the summer along with most of his team mates. It seems that domestic circumstances necessitated a move to Essex, but those domestic circumstances have now changed and the player, who made thirty-one appearances for the Moatsiders last season, has moved back to Surrey and headed directly to the K's.

He previously played for Welling United, both on loan from Charlton Athletic and after a permanent deal was agreed. He has been a regular in the first team at Braintree this season, and his former side- managed by former Leiston bos Glen Driver- currently sit fifth in National League South.
