Sam Bantick joined the Millers from Coggeshall Town at the beginning of March and proved even more so he had a great eye for goal with ten goals in nine appearances, including six assists.

His first goals came in his second game as he grabbed a hat-trick against Mildenhall Town, followed was braces away at Barking and at home to Soham Town Rangers, and single goals against AFC Sudbury, Tilbury and Brentwood as Bano helped us secure second place in the Bostik North table.

Sam Bantick parting comments: “A great club with some great people. Would like to thank all of my teammates and all the fans for welcoming me into a team doing so well and everyone else involved especially Chris Smith, Danny Dafter and Gary Heywood for making my short time with the club an enjoyable one!

Wish you all the best next season.”

Everyone at Aveley FC would like to thank Sam Bantick for his effort at the club and we wish him all the best in the future.
