Two new Basildon signings- and some highlights!

Basildon United announced two new signings in the run up to Saturday's season opener against Lowestoft Town, and both played a part in the one-one draw.

Marty Gage spent some time with Coggeshall Town at the start of last season, playing five times. Very early in his career- indeed, shortly after he reached double digits- Marty spent some time with Ipswich Town and Norwich City, before signing on at West Ham United in his mid teens and playing youth football. He also spent some time at Heybridge Swifts.

Defender Jamie Bennett has spent time at Walthamstow, and played for Brightlingsea Regent in our Premier Division during 20-21, with twelve appearances and one goal, and 21-22, where he played sixteen times. He also turned out for Tilbury, and spent some of last season with Coggeshall Town, playing twenty two times.

Forward Marty played seventy seven minutes on Saturday, full back Jamie the entire match, and you can watch the highlights of the one-one draw below
