New Assistant Boss- and new defender for the Ites

Sheppey United have brought back a former player- defender Jono Richardson- as Assistant Manager, and he has also brought his boots and will take on a playing role.

Jono played for the club a few years ago- and took on the Assistant Manager role- and speaks about his return to the club below.

As well as his time at United, Jono played for the likes of Ashford United, Herne Bay and Faversham Town.

The Ites have also announced the arrival of Dartford defender Ali Mansaray on loan. Ali came through the Academy at Princes Park and signed first team forms at the start of this campaign. He played in both the Kent Senior Cup Final and Kent Academy Cup Final last season, and indeed scored the Darts second goal in the former, a six-two win over Folkestone Invicta at the BuildKent Stadium.
