AFC Sudbury Manager Greets New Signing Danny Charge

AFC Sudbury manager has once again used his various connections to sign a player. This time it is 22 year-old  striker Danny Charge.

The Essex based man has been out of the game for some while after suffering a serious ankle injury and has been playing his football mainly for fun. Charge however has played for Dagenham and Redbridge,  Grays Athletic while they were a Conference side,Hemel Hemspstead Town, Billericay Town and has had trials with both Leyton Orient and Stevenage. His last club was Grays Athletic last season before his ankle problems.

Tracey said “He has been out for sometime but has a good pedigree and can score goals with both feet. He may take a little while to get up to speed in terms of fitness but he is someone I know will be able to put the ball away when he is called upon”.

Charge took part in AFC’s indoor training session at Sudbury Sports Centre and was quickly on the scoresheet and looked to be a good signing for the club

Below is a summary of his playing career so far;
