Maidstone United defender Jerome Binnom-Williams speaks about his return from pre-season knee injury
Jerome Binnom-Williams has a point to prove to himself after returning from injury. The popular left-back made his first appearance this season in Maidstone’s goalless draw with Solihull Moors on Tuesday.
He wants to show he can cut it at National League level after an unhappy spell at Barnet when last in the division. Feeling the love of Stones fans and manager Hakan Hayrettin, Binnom-Williams enjoyed the best year of his career as Maidstone won National League South.
His comeback from a pre-season knee injury gave everyone a lift against Moors and the 27-year-old wants to make up for lost time.
He got 70 minutes under his belt before going off with cramp. Binnom-Williams said: “I’ve been itching to play but I’ve had to make sure I get my body right, not come back and get lots of niggles and be out again. “Watching the boys, I wanted to be out there helping them, and it’s good to get some minutes.
