Reece Prestedge admits he has taken a leaf out of Margate player-assistant manager Ben Greenhalgh’s book in giving youth an opportunity.

Academy player Rory Sutcliffe will stay with Gate for the new season, having featured four times in attacking roles in last season’s successful Kent Senior Cup campaign, as well as one Isthmian Premier appearance off the bench.

Margate’s manager Prestedge is supported by coach Elliot Leveson and Greenhalgh, whose full-time job sees him run Dartford’s Academy.

Prestedge said: “Ben has, obviously, been in and around it for many years. He’s been quite successful. “It would be silly not to use his contacts!
