Maidstone United sign goalkeepers Alexis Andre Jr and Lenny Holden on a busy day at the Gallagher Stadium
Maidstone have moved on from FA Cup hero Lucas Covolan – signing two goalkeepers in one day.
Covolan, man-of-the-match in the Stones’ 2-1 fourth-round victory at Ipswich, was offered a new contract after helping the club to the National League South play-offs.
But the Brazilian is keen to play higher up the pyramid, forcing the Stones to look elsewhere.
They’ve got their new No.1, signing Frenchman Alexis Andre Jr, a 27-year-old who left Woking towards the end of last season.
And they’ve also landed teenager Lenny Holden, who’s just completed a two-year scholarship at Leyton Orient.
Andre Jr, who started his career in England with Bristol Rovers, has also had spells with Folkestone, Dover, Maidenhead, Salisbury and Hashtag United.
New Maidstone United striker Aaron Blair says he was shown a lack of respect by former club Braintree after helping them win promotion
Summer signing Aaron Blair is happy to be at Maidstone after claiming he was shown a lack of respect by his former club.
Player-of-the-year Blair scored 16 goals as unfancied Braintree won the National League South play-offs last season, including a stunning strike in their 4-3 final win at Worthing.
