Faversham Town manager Tommy Warrilow on summer signings of former midfielder Harrison Pont and tall striker Eniye Amgbaduba

New Faversham signing Harrison Pont will need little introduction to fans - not that his new boss realised he had been the man behind a memorable penalty save against the club until recently.

Pont joined big striker Eniye Amgbaduba in being announced as new arrivals for Tommy Warrilow’s Isthmian South East newcomers over the weekend.

A versatile midfielder, Pont saved a penalty from Gillingham icon Adebayo Akinfenwa on his Lilywhites home debut as he deputised in goal during Sittingbourne’s 1-0 Swale derby win at Salters Lane in March 2023.

But on ex-Dover and Herne Bay player Pont, rejoining Faversham, having played for them under James Collins just before Covid, Warrilow revealed: “I didn’t know that was him until someone told me the other day!

“I think he’s still only 23 or 24. He’s played a lot of football for someone of his age and, to play 30-odd games in Isthmian Premier, that’s nothing to be sniffed at. He can play at centre-back and in midfield, as well.

“When you put your hand up to go in goal, we had it with Jarred Trespaderne last year, there’s no real pressure on you. To save a penalty against Akinfenwa - a big name - that would have got highlighted everywhere!

“Like I say, I didn’t know that was him, but it’s handy to know he can do that.

“He’s been at Sittingbourne and I’ve spoken to Steve Lovell, who had him at Herne Bay.

“One thing we are going to sort out this year is Briggsy (No.2 Lewis Briggs) getting more game-time.

“Unfortunately every time Jordan (Russell, their No.1) was injured, Briggsy wasn’t available so that’s something we’re going to address.”

Pont and Amgbaduba, formerly at Whitstable and Fisher, will help fill the void left by midfielder Sam Hasler and forward Danny Parish.
