George Purcell signs for AFC Sudbury


AFC Sudbury have announced the arrival of striker George Purcell, who moves over from Barking- just in time to face them tomorrow afternoon!

The record goalscorer at Hornchurch, he left the Urchins during 2019 after 149 goals in 279 appearances, joining Canvey Island. He made a dozen appearances for the Gulls, scoring six times, then moved on to sign for Grays Athletic and scored six more. His last appearance for Athletic was in victory against Great Wakering Rovers in mid January 2020, and he then moved to play for Rovers, scored on his debut, but only played twice more before ending the 2019-20 campaign at Ashford United, joining a month before the lockdown and playing only five times- but still managing to find the net on four occasions. He started last season at Bowers and Pitsea, and then returned to the Urchins, managing goal one hundred and fifty in victory over Cheshunt.

He has been with Barking since August, scoring seven times in his nineteen appearances.
