Sam Bone has never been happier as Maidstone’s coffee club find the perfect blend off the pitch. Bone is loving life after settling back into his home town following six years in Ireland.
Not only is he enjoying being around old friends and family, he also benefits from a number of team-mates living in the town.
They have regular get-togethers over a cup of coffee and have formed quite the social group. “It’s the happiest I’ve been,” said Bone, 25. “I’d spent six years in Ireland and when it hit me that I wasn’t going back, I found it a little bit difficult at first. “My whole adult life up to that point had been in Ireland but I’m in such a good place now.
I’m loving it in Maidstone. “I’ve just moved into my new place, I get to see friends and family often and I’m surrounded by family after games.
