Folkestone Invicta manager Andy Drury considers strengthening squad – but only with the right players - for their Isthmian Premier season run-in

Boss Andy Drury may consider strengthening Folkestone’s squad for their season run-in.

Isthmian Premier Invicta have played only twice in the past month but will aim for a productive return to action, which could ease any lingering relegation fears.

However, with a further 11 fixtures to play this campaign, Drury may consider bolstering Folkestone’s ranks after the versatile Kane Penn’s departure.

He said: “I think, now, we’re having to go Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday - and Friday-Monday over Easter - we will have more games than I expected.

“So, we’re looking at one or two players. But they have got to be the right players.

“There might be a bit of movement in the next few weeks but nothing major.”

Drury explained full-back Penn, who has also played in midfield since his summer arrival, has left due to work commitments. He has since signed for Horsham and made his debut in their weekend 3-1 win at Margate.

“Kane couldn’t do the extra travelling to get to training anymore,” the manager stated.

“He was getting in a bit of trouble at work for leaving early. He came to me and said he cannot keep doing it.

“Kane needed to get a club down there and Horsham is fairly near to where he lives. Kane is a good lad and he did well for us.

“It’s a shame to lose him - but there’s not a lot you can do when it’s work commitments.”

While their matches have fallen victim to the weather, Invicta have been able to train at Kedbull Leisure in Gravesend.

“We have trained Tuesday-Thursday and trained on Saturday,” said Drury.

“Obviously, training-wise, we’re not struggling.

“But you don’t want to lose that match fitness. It took some of the boys that signed in December a few weeks to find that.”

Folkestone only sit narrowly above the relegation
