Girdlestone Is A Gull

We are delighted to announce the signing of 24-year-old central defender Rob Girdlestone from Maldon & Tiptree.

Rob came through the West Ham United Academy system before joining Chelmsford City in the National League South in 2014.

He moved across Essex to join Concord Rangers two years later, making 76 appearances for the club and picking up the Players' Player of the Year and Supporters' Player of the Year accolades.

He joined Maldon & Tiptree in 2018 and was part of their excellent side last season that reached the Emirates FA Cup 2nd Round and was on course to win the Isthmian League North before the season was cancelled.

We welcome Rob to the club and wish him an enjoyable and successful time at Park Lane.
