Whitstable Town manager Marcel Nimani brings in Glebe's attacking midfielder Harry Gamble

Whitstable manager Marcel Nimani hopes his latest recruit will give his side an extra boost in attack.

Harry Gamble has joined the Oystermen from fellow Southern Counties East Premier Division side Glebe.

Attacking midfielder Gamble impressed Nimani at Erith Town last season and was delighted to have got his man on board.

The Town boss said: “Harry is an ambitious, experienced player at this level, he had a fantastic season last year at Erith Town and wants to reach those levels with us this year.

“He is a player whose progress I have tracked for some time now.

“He will give us quality in the opposition half which is what we have been lacking lately, we are creating chances but not necessarily with the end product, we feel that Harry will give us the extra quality that we need. “

Nimani’s men got a heavy defeat out of their system with a win against Rochester United at the weekend. With no game scheduled last Saturday, Whitstable took on the Southern Counties East Division 1 side in a charity fixture - with a share of the proceeds going to the All Wrapped Up initiative run by the town’s Riverside Church, providing Christmas dinner hampers to those in need.

Nimani was glad to be able to help a community cause and welcomed the chance to shake off a 4-0 Premier Division thumping at home to Erith Town the weekend before.

The Oystermen won the charity friendly 5-2.

“It was a good game for both in terms of football but also to the community,” Nimani said. “It was nice to give something back.

"In terms of the football it was very much needed, it was good to have a game and play well, look at a few shapes and a couple of players in different positions, so from a football front it was very much needed and an objective complete.

“
