Mildenhall Town - 14 goals in the 2009/2010 season
Cambridge United - Suffered tendonitis in his knee and was not offered a contract during trial period,, then went to Bury
Bury Town - 59 goals in 105 games (upto Oct 2013) Then sold for an undisclosed fee to ...
Canvey Island - 24 gaols in 47 games (upto Nov 2014)
CANVEY’S marquee new striker John Sands (who joined for an undisclosed fee) has been ruled out of action until the new year after being attacked outside a nightclub – just hours after making a dream debut for the island club.
Police are investigating the attack on the 26-year-old in Suffolk on Saturday night which has left him with a broken jaw and needing to eat through a straw.
And Canvey manager Danny Heale says it’s a crushing blow for the club and the player, who’d scored a brace to give the Gulls a 2-1 home win over Hampton earlier that day.
JOHN Sands has left Canvey Island by mutual consent after his contract was cancelled last night.
The 11-goal striker has been carrying a double hernia injury since the start of the season, although that hasn't stopped Sands leading the Gulls scoring charts this term.
Chelmsford City - Spent 2.5 months out while recovering from a double hernia operation, and broken ribs after a bad two footed tackle. Was loaned back to Bury to work on his fitness in 2014/2015 season.
Leinston - 5 gaols in 13 games (until move to Boston) Was signed on a two year contract for them.
I can only assume the reason for his move to Spalding to live is work related, and as such the club and player would terminate his contract by mutual consent. This does not seem to be the case however, as he the Leiston FC webpage reports a fee being involved.
The strange thing is that it was the player looking for clubs in the local area and got in Touch with Dennis about St Neots.
This could be another shrewd piece of business, albeit with a little luck thrown in - and we all need a bit of that!
Could this be the Geoff Horsfield that we missed out on when asked to pay £15k, and would not stump up the cash?
He certainly backs himself to score, and his disappointment after only 10 mins of football and 2 chances was clear for al to see.
