Dorking have just signed a player on a three year contract. Why?
Hampton gave Rohan Ince a contract. A player who hadn't played in how long, and was well past 30 with no sell on value.
He played bit part in what 7 games? Then now again potentially giving him another contract.
Yet young Finn, a young prospect, was not given a contract at left for free to join Birmingham City, a contract to a young player that could have netted a transfer fee, or at the very least payments for appearances or sell on percentage.
But yeah, criticise Dorking who have gone from Sunday league football to step 1.
Maybe they see his value, a good age, and protecting an asset that could have value if someone comes in for him.
Well personally I wouldn't have given Ince a contract either. But ex full time EFL players end up at non league clubs for a reason, either they are injury prone or can't cut it any more. Plus knocking Dorking, or more specifically their Manager, is just fun. His persona, in all the many hours of social media he does just screams out for it.
