Archie Arrives At Hartsdown Park

Margate Football Club can confirm the signing of left-back Archie Johnson from Beckenham Town.

Johnson, 25-years old was Beckenham’s star man last season as he swept up at their end of season awards winning Players Player of the year, Supporters Player of the year and Managers Player of the year.

As well as collecting his former clubs end of season awards, Johnson was also named in the 2022/23 Isthmian South-East Team of the Year.

Before his spell at Beckenham Town, the left-back enjoyed stints at Welling United and Cray Wanderers.

Manager Reece Prestedge is looking forward to seeing the 25-year old in action at Hartsdown Park.

“Archie is someone I have known for a few years. He is someone I am looking forward to working with. He had a very good season last year and deserves the chance to get back into this level of football.”

“Archie will provide us with a good balance in the back four and I know that his ability will shine through and I am looking forward to seeing him in a Margate shirt.”

Everybody at Hartsdown Park would like to welcome Archie to the club.

Margate kick-start their pre-season schedule in three weeks’ time when they welcome Deal Town to Hartsdown Park as part of a double header with the women facing Deal Town women at Noon, before the two men’s side clash at 3pm.
