LIAM SMITH (Defender) DOB 08/02/00
An exciting young prospect who broke into the Angels 1st team from the club’s successful youth system. Enjoys attacking the opposition down the flank when operating at full back, yet shows great maturity for one so young.

Returning to Longmead in June 2018 this popular and versatile player can operate in defence or midfield. Was with the Angels for nearly three seasons making 128 appearances before a spell with Grays Athletic.

CRAIG STONE (Defender) DOB 29/12/88
Experienced player who can operate at full back or in central defence. Arrived at Longmead in July 2017 from National League South side Eastbourne Borough having previously been with Gillingham, Ebbsfleet Utd, Maidstone Utd and Dover Athletic. Steve has captured a leader.

SONNY MILES (Defender) DOB 21/10/90
Came through the Angels youth system and apart from one season with local rivals Maidstone Utd from where he came back a stronger player, has stayed loyal to his spiritual Longmead home. Capable of scoring vital goals at set pieces and appointed 1st team vice-captain for season 2016/17.

TOM PARKINSON (Midfield) DOB 18/05/91
Our longest continuously serving 1st team player, Tom joined from Leatherhead in June 2014 with other previous clubs listed as Maidstone Utd and Ramsgate. Usually employed in the heart of midfield but equally capable of performing in central defence, he has an appetite for scoring goals from open play or at set pieces. Runner up three years in succession in the Supporters Player of the Year competition demonstrates ‘Parky’s’ consistently high performances in which he lets his playing do the talking. Deservedly appointed 1st team captain in 2016/17 but unfortunately was out for much of last season recovering from a fractured leg. He will undoubtedly come back stronger this campaign. Joint manager of the Angels Academy teams.

ALEX READ (Striker) DOB 17/05/88
Arrived at Longmead in June 2018 from Harlow Town with an outstanding pedigree of 178 goals in 278 appearances for the Hawks. But goal scoring is not the only part of Alex’s game as his holding up of the ball when seemingly crowded out in the final third will prove invaluable to the team.

Joined the Angels in January 2019 from Haringey Borough where he was part of the successful squad that reached the 1st Round Proper of the 2018/19 FA Cup. A genuine handful for defenders due to his range of movement
