Leon Crooks returns to the Fleet with four other new signings
Defender Leon Crooks has returned to Ebbsfleet United as one of five players signed by Liam Daish today (Thursday). Leon was released by Wycombe Wanderers earlier this summer and the 23-year-old 6’ 2” centre back now returns to Stonebridge Road following a successful loan spell with the Fleet last season. He figured 21 times in a Fleet shirt last season, including the FA Trophy semi-final against Stevenage.
Joining Leon at Ebbsfleet is 19-year-old ex-Brighton midfielder Kane Wills, Scott Shulton, also 19, formerly with Watford and Wycombe Wanderers and ex-Peterborough United striker Scott Ginty, aged 18.
Completing the quintet of signings is young Millwall goalkeeper Matthew Lamprell who will be back up to England C keeper Lance Cronin.
