Triple presentation marks milestone

20 Feb 2017 By David Watters

Sittingbourne's Hicham Akhazzan was honoured with a triple presentation on Saturday for reaching his latest milestone with the Ryman South's Brickies.

Signed from Chatham Town more than a decade ago in November 2006, the 28-year-old winger was honoured before Sittingbourne's 2-0 win over Molesey for scoring his 100th goal in last Tuesday night's 2-2 draw with Herne Bay at Woodstock Park.

Akhazzan, who was made skipper for the night back in November for a 3-2 win over Whyteleafe to mark his 400th appearance for the club, is pictured being presented with a framed photo capturing him celebrating his milestone goal along with a medal and a trophy by Sittingbourne chairman Maurice Dunk, manager Nick Davis and vice president Alan Barty.

Including substitute appearances, Saturday's victory saw last season's golden boot winner make his 442nd appearance for the Brickies and secretary Peter Pitts paid tribute to his loyalty after the ceremony in front of fans at the TEC Stadium.

He said: "A number of teams have come in with seven day approaches for Hich but he has always remained loyal to the Brickies."
