Ebbsfleet United Football Club is delighted to announce that Joe Howe has put pen to paper and signed a new deal to keep him at Stonebridge Road.

The defender and midfielder missed only five league games last season in a campaign which saw him build on the consistency that earned him player of the year awards in 2011-12 and the 25-year-old will be looking to add to the 120+ appearances he has racked up in a three-year Fleet career to date.

Howe said, “I am very excited to be part of the next chapter in the football club’s history. My time at Ebbsfleet United has been the most enjoyable of my football career so far and I feel privileged to be have been retained at the club. I was very impressed when I met Steve Brown and really am looking forward to working with him over the coming season”.

Joe is the second player to be confirmed by the new management team of Steve Brown and Steve Gritt. These are exciting times and everyone connected with the club is looking forward to making further announcements during the coming days.
