Midfielder moves to Dockers

Midfielder Luke L’Anson is in line to make his first start for Tilbury in Ryman North on Tuesday night after signing for the Dockers from Thurrock.

The 25-year-old, pictured, can also play in defence and could make his debut against AFC Sudbury at Chadfields after Dockers manager Paul Vaughan moved to beef up his squad.

The experienced midfielder returned to Thurrock in September for a second spell and has previously been at Bromley, Merstham, Welling, Kingstonian, Billericay and Margate. He’s also played alongside Docker Sam Cutler at Dover Athletic where his goal helped the Whites knock Gillingham out of the FA Cup back in November 2010.

A Dockers spokesman said: "He is a great addition to the squad and is available for selection immediately."
