Pretty sure he's never played for us, unless it was a friendly or the ESC.

We've had Shaun and Matt Batt.

It's good to be getting some experience in, a little worrying that he'd dropped down to Conf South, but that appears to be due to him retiring from full time football last year.

He is the brother of Shaun who was here 2005-2007.

As Adrian says, pretty sure Damien never played for us but he came here in 2004 whilst playing for Barnet.

Would share your concern Adrian if it was not Eastleigh. They don't half pay the money down there and it is little wonder he ended up there part time he was probably better off.

So 5 new additions two Goalkeepers two defenders and a winger. Think now is the time to look at the other end of the pitch

Strong signing for me. Sounds like we have had nothing yet from Hoyte about a new contract so this seems to be the first' eleven' signing of the summer. Good player when he's been up against us

It does. The detail on Wikipedia seems to have been updated now, as earlier in the week it said he played for us, but now says it was Redbridge.

Someone might want to have a word with whoever put the press release together and point out that Wiki isn't always a reliable source.

Watched his interview on Daggers Player and he said he was with us for a short time, a few training sessions etc..
