The Chichester City striker has signed a dual deal to play for the Dragons, who are without injured strikers Dan Simmonds and Scott Murfin.

He looked sharp and strong in a goalless first half but was unable to help Wick extend a run of two wins and a draw when the game was scratched one minute and 11 seconds into the second half.

Wick have announced there will be free admission when the game us rearranged.

The Dragons travelled to Roffey on Saturday after beating Storrington in the league and upsetting AFC Croydon Athletic in the FA Vase to earn a home game with Saltdean United. But missed chances meant they had to settle for a 1-1 draw.

"We were the better team and created the better chances but couldn’t tuck them away. It was frustrating," said Wick manager Tom Simmonds.

‘We were without eight players through injury and suspension but still played well and really we should have won."

Wick go to AFC Varndeanians on Saturday.
