Sittingbourne re-sign Miles Cornwell on a one-year contract: The club have met me halfway in putting this deal together and fair play

SITTINGBOURNE manager Nick Davis says he has re-signed Miles Cornwell on a one-year contract tonight.

The 27-year-old forward left Woodstock Park during the early parts of last season to sign for Ryman Premier League side Folkestone Invicta.

Folkestone Invicta boss Neil Cugley revealed that Cornwell was heading back to Sittingbourne earlier in the week.

Cugley told www.folkestoneinvictafc.co.uk: “We’d made Miles an offer but Sittingbourne surprised me by matching that and he’s also got connections over there where his dad Tony is assistant manager.

“Maybe the travelling didn’t quite fit in with his circumstances.  It’s slightly disappointing that – apart from Liam Friend who has signed for Margate – the players we have lost have gone to club’s playing at a lower level.”

Naturally, Davis says he is “delighted” to re-sign Cornwell.

“He was and is an important part of how we played at the start of last season and how we are looking to play going forward,” said Davis.

“To score 18 goals last season, most of which were from midfield in the Ryman Premier, was a great achievement.

“Not only are we signing a good player but a good man and I want good people around me and Tony (Cornwell).

“The club have met me halfway in putting this deal together and fair play.”

Sittingbourne finished in fourteenth-place in the Ryman League Division One South last season, collecting 62 points from their 46 games, the club’s highest points tally for eight seasons.
