Central midfielder Michael Corcoran, 25, has agreed terms at Stonebridge Road to become the Fleet’s 12th player signed this close season.

The dynamic former Northern Irish Under-21 international – who can also play across the back four – joins after a season with Conference North play-off finalists Brackley Town; he also played for Leamington in that time having signed dual forms.

Michael began his career at Cardiff City, progressing via their youth system, before a loan move to Oxford United that became permanent in summer 2007. He played mainly in defence at the Kassam Stadium, making 30 appearances, before moving to Rushden & Diamonds in February 2008. He was a regular in the Diamonds midfield at Conference Premier level, clocking up more than 100 games in a three-year spell until a move to Dover followed in the summer of 2011.

Michael said, “I am looking forward to teaming up with Steve Brown again. He is an excellent coach and I really enjoyed working with him previously. I have been impressed by his ambition and the club’s and I can’t wait for the season to start.”
