TRANSFER NEWS

Ashford United Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of Liam Friend from Chatham Town this afternoon.

The 33-year-old defender has spent the majority of his career at Margate, Folkestone and Ramsgate, but joined The Chats at the start of the 2021/22 season.

Now, Friend comes in to bolster the Nuts & Bolts’ defensive core, and he is relishing the opportunity to play for an ‘ambitious’ Ashford United side.

“I left Chatham [Town] recently and Tommy [Warrilow] was the first person I spoke to. He’s tried to sign me a couple of times over the years, and he’s always been somebody I wanted to play for.” Friend said.

“Having spoken to [Lee] Hooky and Johan [Ter Horst], I was able to gauge what the club was like and it escalated from there.”

“But I don’t want to come in and make any headline statements when it comes to my targets for the season, and there are a lot of great clubs in this division, but Ashford are ambitious.”

“Hopefully I can help the team to win as many games as possible so that as a club we can achieve the maximum possible.” He finished.

Liam Friend will be available to make his debut this evening as we welcome Herne Bay to the Homelands Stadium. Purchase tickets now!
