Isthmian League newcomers Sheppey United bring in Corinthian goalkeeper Aiden Prall as Adam Molloy departs

Sheppey United’s new goalkeeper Aiden Prall looks the perfect fit.

Prall will keep goal for the Ites next season when they embark on a new campaign in the Isthmian League, replacing departed No.1 Adam Molloy.
