Summer signing Razzaq Coleman De-Graft can’t wait to put on a show for Maidstone United fans. Coleman De-Graft arrived from Isthmian Premier Lewes with a reputation as an exciting winger and scorer of spectacular goals.
The 25-year-old doesn’t get many tap-ins and he’s looking forward to showing Stones fans what he can do. Boss George Elokobi told him all about the atmosphere in the Genco Stand at the Gallagher Stadium and when that first long-range strike hits the net, it’ll be a moment to savour. “When I’m in the zone and enjoying myself, I always like to entertain,” said Coleman De-Graft. “I know football is a business but it’s about entertainment. “People come and watch you and you want to make them happy. “You want to put on a show and I will 100% give my all and try to please the crowd. “The majority of times, if you’ve hit the ball right and it’s on target, you know it’s probably going to go in. “I did it about 12 times last season and every time it was the same feeling to see it hit the back of the net. “When you hit the ball sweet from 20 yards and it goes in, you’re over the moon. “George has told me about the stand behind the goal. “I’m looking forward to scoring my first goal.” While Coleman De-Graft likes to entertain, he knows the importance of working hard and fitting into the team structure.
He’s played in National League South previously, with Hampton, and the step up doesn’t concern him. “I’m a hard worker and George likes hard work,” said Coleman De-Graft. “I’m always willing to give my all. “I’m someone who lives by consistency and hard work. “Luck does help but it’s mainly hard work and if you put the hard work in, it pays off.
