Ebbsfleet United have agreed terms with Bromley for the permanent transfer of Luke Coulson.

The 24-year-old has played 73 times for the Fleet since signing from Saturday’s opponents Barnet in July 2017, scoring 13 goals in the process. This season, Luke has started 11 matches, scoring twice in the FA Cup.

His departure now brings the squad into line with the numbers the club and manager have been working towards as part of the publicised budget restructuring.

Luke’s 11 goals last season will be well remembered by Fleet fans, not least his strikes against Maidstone United and Doncaster Rovers, as well as the opening goal at Prenton Park in the play-off semi-final.

All of us at the club wish Luke the very best of luck in the next stage of his playing career and thank him sincerely for his efforts in the Fleet shirt.
