Brownlie Brings in New Attacker

Youngster moves down from Harrow.

Pitching In Southern League Division One South club Basingstoke Town have signed Dylan Ive from Southern League Premier Division South side Harrow Borough.

The 20-year-old attacking player signed before the deadline for inclusion for the Emirates FA Cup so will be available for selection for Monday’s tie against Southern Combination Leaguers Chichester City.

Basingstoke manager Dan Brownlie told https://btfc.co.uk: “Dylan has been on my radar for about a year. He caught the eye when I was down watching Windsor. He’s quick, direct, full of enthusiasm and he’s got a calmness about him in front of goal. With McKoy Palmer currently nursing a bit of a knock, it gives us further competition alongside Brad Wilson, George Hallahan and George Reid. He can operate centrally and from a wider position so that in itself gives us a greater toolkit.

“He played in our friendly against Farnborough and did very well. We used it as an opportunity for him to look at us and for us – to see how he fit into the group. He’s bought into what we are trying to do and the way we want to go about games and importantly he enjoyed it and liked our group of lads. He’s playing a little bit of catch up as the rest of the group have been together for seven or eight weeks now, but I know he’s a determined lad and he’s committed to working hard. We’re really pleased to have him”.
