Ebbsfleet United unveil the arrival of Cameroon born defender Patrick Ada

Friday 20th July 2012

EBBSFLEET UNITED have today signed defender Patrick Ada after two impressive performances in the Fleet’s pre-season games against Tonbridge Angels and Reading.

Ada, 27, lined up alongside Paul Lorriane and the six-foot tall centre back soon formed a good partnership with the Fleet skipper.

Born in Cameroon, Ada began his career with Redbridge before joining Barnet for 14 appearances. In 2005 he appeared for St Albans and then moved on to Exeter City before establishing himself as a cornerstone of the Histon defence where he made 77 appearances.

The Football League beckoned and Ada joined Crewe for 57 appearances over two seasons, and a brief spell in Scotland with Kilmarnock was followed by nine games with Burton Albion last season.

Fleet boss Liam Daish told www.ebbsfleetunited.co.uk: “I have been very pleased with the standard of players who have come in during pre-season.

“Patrick has slotted in well alongside Paul Lorriane and they seem to have struck up an instant understanding.

“We were lucky to have Yado Mambo with us on loan from Charlton for much of last season and now we have added another commanding figure to our defence.”

Ebbsfleet United welcome Leyton Orient to Stonebridge Road tomorrow.
