Highly rated twenty year old Goalkeeper Jack Bradshaw has decided to join VCD from Kent Premier League neighbours Erith Town.

Jack teams up with seventeen year old brother Tom who broke into the first team in last year’s double winning campaign.

The Vickers’ manager moved swiftly to capture Bradshaw’s signature following his departure from Erith Town recently to bolster the squad and increase the competition for James Tedder’s No 1 Jersey.

Reserve GK John Parsons suffered a broken finger and ligament damage recently in a freak warm up injury while on loan to Cray Valley PM FC.

Manager Paul Foley announced the news to www.vcd-athletic.co.uk ‘I am really pleased to bring Jack to the club finally as we did try to get him a couple of seasons ago when he left Cray Wanderers but he had already signed for Erith Town.

Jack is a real prospect and he has already proved by playing in the Ryman South for Cray that he is ready for this level.

It will be tough to dislodge James who has been in fine form this season and played a massive part in our title surge last year but it is great to have a keeper signed up who can slot straight in.

With John being out of action for a few weeks we needed to get someone in and the timing was perfect as Jack had decided to leave Erith recently.

As I understand it he got injured earlier in the season and Erith had to get a new keeper in so he has been forced to sit out a couple of games.

Good keepers are very hard to come by so we moved quickly.

He knows a few of the lads here already and with his brother Tom part of our first team set up he will settle in very quickly I am sure.’
