Faversham Town manager Tommy Warrilow on bringing in forward Tashi-Jay Kwayie and being patient in pursuit of more summer signings

Boss Tommy Warrilow is on the look-out for more recruits after making his first summer signing at Faversham - but is prepared to be patient in the transfer market.

Forward Tashi-Jay Kwayie has agreed to join the Salters Lane side this summer from Isthmian South East outfit Phoenix Sports for Town’s 2024/25 Southern Counties East Premier Division promotion bid.

Warrilow was set to ask for answers from those in their 2023/24 squad who are yet to make up their minds on whether they will stay at Town upon his return from holiday this week while he was also keen to get some fresh faces over the line in the near future.

“I don’t know any club that keeps the exact same set of players over the summer,” he said.

“Everyone is always bringing in at least one or two. There’s no panic stations.

“Players always become available, as well, because they might fall out somewhere. It’s just a case of making sure it’s the right fit.

“It was never going to be a summer of us making multiple signings. We wanted to keep the majority from last season.

“We’re still waiting on answers from a couple but that will be addressed.

“I didn’t really want to put a bomb under it (the squad) anyway, there’s not a lot that needs breaking up. We’re not a million miles away.

“With the ones I’m waiting for answers from, there becomes a time where you just have to get on with it.

“I cannot just wait and wait. I think I’ve been more than fair.

“We need to get a few more in - we know that. But you hear other clubs bringing five, six or seven players in and that was never going to be the case for us.

“I’m not worrying. But I’m still looking to add to it.

“I’m hoping that - over the next week or so - there will be one, two or even three more in.”
