Ebbsfleet United forward Rakish Bingham pays tribute to National League South top scorer, 28-goal striker Dominic Poleon

There’s no limit to the number of goals Ebbsfleet forward Dominic Poleon could score this season.

Poleon took his tally to 27 with a hat-trick in the 6-2 win over Hampton last weekend and added another goal in the midweek victory at St Albans.

So, who better to talk about Poleon than the man who knows him best - strike partner Rakish Bingham.

“That’s my guy. He’s a top striker, he has a knack of knowing where the goal is,” said Bingham.

“He’s doing really well. We just want to keep pushing him and make sure he’s on top of his game.

“He can go as far as he wants to go. If he continues to be as professional as he is, the season is not finished yet and he can reach whatever he wants to.

“That’s down to Dom and a credit to his ability and what he’s got going for him. We will push him as much as we can, and it’s not just Dom - everyone here will push each other.

“I’m just really proud of him. You can see the focus and the way he is playing, his determination to chase balls down, to get there first, even in the past week or so to twice look up and see a team-mate and put it on a plate. Credit to him, he’s doing a marvellous job.”

There’s been a drive and hunger about Poleon this season.

His work-rate has clearly improved, and it’s been rewarded with a stellar campaign in front of goal.

“It’s about his approach and his professionalism,” added Bingham. “He’s come back for pre-season and you could see it from day one.

“As strikers you go through patches of not scoring but that happens and as long as you have the same approach, whether you are scoring or not, you have to offer what you can to the team still.

“What he brings to the team now is a lot more than what he did last season. That’s the improvement I see in him every day.”
