There were a trio of players who completed loan moves away from The Valley on deadline day, 31 January.

Young Spanish winger, Ruben Bover, and striker, Tosan Popo, have joined Tony Jiminez’s Spanish outfit, Clube Deportivo San Roque de Lepe, until the end of the season.

It is an innovative move – particularly for Popo – and will help with their development. Having Bover at the club will help Popo to settle.

Young goalkeeper, Conor Gough, has also gone out on loan, joining Eastbourne Borough for a month.

Kent side Maidstone United will end their 24 year exile with the opening of their new ground next season. Currently playing in Ashford, the Stones will host Charlton in a pre-season game to be played on 14 July.
