Welcome George!

Ashford United are delighted to welcome striker George Purcell to the club as we look to push for promotion towards the end of the season.

George, as pictured above, has fantastic pedigree having played for the likes of Ebssfleet United, Braintree Town, York City, Dartford, and AFC Hornchurch.

He also played under Tommy Warrilow during his era at Tonbridge Angels so knows the gaffer well, and also played alongside Sam Mott at Hornchurch.

He won the AFC Hornchurch supporters' player of the year in 2014/2015, as well as their golden boot for that season. He also won the same accolades at Hornchurch in 2015/2016 along with the players' player of the season as well! He made the 2015/2016 Isthmian League North Divison team of the season and went on to make over 200 appearances for the club, and eventually scored the winning goal to see them promoted in the 2017/2018 season after 6 years at the club. He finished his AFC Hornchurch career as their all time record goalscorer with 149 goals in 279 appearances.

Welcome George!
