Invicta bring in Drury

Veteran midfielder joins Neil Cugley's stripy army

Folkestone Invicta have announced the signing of veteran midfielder Andy Drury, who was up until recently the Assistant Player/Manager at Cray Wanderers.

Attacking midfielder Andy began his career with Sittingbourne back in 2001, when the Brickies were in the Dr Marten League. He went on to play 98 competitive games for Sittingbourne. He left Sittingbourne to go to Gravesend & Northfleet (now Ebbsfleet Utd), and he then moved on to Lewes who were then in the Conference South.

In 2008 he was part of the FA Trophy winning side at Stevenage, and whilst he was with Stevenage he had his first taste of the Football League when Stevenage were promoted from the Conference.

He then had his first spell at Luton Town before being spotted by Ipswich Town, who paid Luton £158,000 for him. Drury played 64 games for Ipswich and in 2013, after a loan spell at Crawley Town, he signed for the Sussex side. In 2014 he returned to Luton Town and a year later joined Eastleigh.

Staying in Hampshire he played for Havant & Waterlooville, before moving on to Sittingbourne once more last season, making eight appearances and scoring twice. His time with the Wands saw him play seventeen times, his last appearance coming against Margate just after Christmas.

Invicta host Wingate & Finchley today.
