It’s one in, one out, in the goalkeeping position at the Kuflink Stadium as Jonathan Macaulay returns to Watford following the end of his loan period.

In his place comes 26-year-old Ryan Sandford, who was most recently with Crawley Town in League Two and who played here earlier in the season with Eastbourne Borough on loan.

Sandford spent six years as a professional at Millwall, during which time he had several loan spells with Dorking Wanderers, Maidstone United, Dover Athletic and Weymouth.

Following his departure from Millwall, he spent time with AFC Wimbledon and Dartford before a move to Crawley Town in January 2024. Earlier this season, he was loaned to Eastbourne Borough where, as mentioned, he was in goal in our 2-2 draw with the Sports at the Kuflink Stadium.

Macaulay, meanwhile, heads back to Watford with all our thanks for his service at the club over the past couple of months. He made his debut at AFC Totton when replacing the injured Gio Bellagambi and went on to make a total of seven appearances for the Fleet. We wish him all the very best for the future.
