Simpson is a Spark once more

Forward Melford Simpson returns to South Park Reigate


South Park Reigate have announced the return to the club of forward Melford Simpson- although his latest debut was delayed by the postponement of their match at Binfield.

Melford spent last season the Sparks in Pitching In Isthmian South Central, managing an impressive nineteen goals in thirty appearances- including a hat trick against Guernsey. His side only lost two of the matches he scored in during the campaign, so he wasn't just a consistent goalscorer, he also brought them luck!

He started this season with Haywards Heath Town- rather incredibly, if our maths are correct, his fifth spell with the club- but managed only seven appearances this time around, injury getting in the way.

Prior to his first spell with the Sparks, he was with Leatherhead, but only managed two appearances for the Tanners.

Apart from his many spells with Heath, he previously played for Shoreham, in Wales for Connah's Quay Nomads, and for Fisher, Aylesbury United, Uxbridge and Hayes and Yeading United, amongst others.
