Sammons is a Blue

Earlier this morning Bowers and Pitsea announced the departure from the Len Salmon of defender Ryan Sammons, who has made fifteen appearances this season, with the following words:

"Ryan was a key part of our title winning side, part of the unit that conceded the least amount of goals in Step 1-4 last year.

He made 59 appearances for Bowers and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours. A model professional throughout, you helped create some fantastic memories for this club."

We all wondered where he was going- and now we know, as he's just been announced as a new signing for Grays Athletic. Athletic manager Jim Cooper, speaking to the club website, stated:

“Ryan was a permanent fixture in Bowers promotion last season and previously played for East Thurrock over 450 times. He brings a wealth of experience and I hope that final piece in the defensive jigsaw.”
