Fleet’s youth-team graduate Luke Coleman leaves the club to join Margate

Ebbsfleet United can confirm that forward Luke Coleman has left Stonebridge Road and signed permanently for Ryman League Margate. The youngster was previously on loan at the Thanet club and has opted for the chance of regular first-team football.

Coleman was part of the Fleet’s youth set-up and came through the ranks during the close season to hold down a squad place this season. He played five games as substitute for the Fleet, scoring once – the memorable winner he struck against Kidderminster Harriers.
