Rance new at Invicta

It's rather a long way from North Lincolnshire to the Kent coast, but that doesn't seem to bother midfielder Dean Rance, who is a Kentish lad and returns to the county as he joins Folkestone Invicta on loan from Scunthorpe United.

Dean started his career as a Gillingham youth, and eventually made it to the first team squad- although he also had a number of loans, most notably at Maidstone United (twice), Bishop's Stortford (twice), and Dover Athletic. He eventually made a move to Dover on a permanent basis, but it was at Ebbsfleet United (as a team mate of Invicta boss Andy Drury) where he really made his name, spending six years at the club- a period which saw United lose two National League South Play off Finals before finally winning one, and lose in the National League Play Off Semi Finals.

A season with Aldershot Town and three years with Dagenham and Redbridge followed, before he moved to Scunthorpe in March last year.
