Margate Caretaker Manager Craig Holloway has secured the signing of defender Joe Vines from Cray Wanderers.

The 31 year old started his career with the Wands and went on to play for Bromley, Crawley, Lewes, AFC Wimbledon, Tooting &Mitcham, Sittingbourne, Maidstone United before returning to Cray.

Joe is an uncompromising defender with plenty of experience who can also score goals.

The completion of the paperwork may have come just too late for today’s trip to Lowestoft (due to work committments) so if he does not make his debut this evening he may well do on Saturday at Wealdstone.
