Details

Jordy Mongoy

The 27-year-old versatile attacker joins from Isthmian League Premier Division Cray Wanderers who finished a respectable seventh place last campaign. Jordy is predominantly a winger, however he can play along the front line and in the middle of the attack when called upon.

Mongoy brings plenty of experience at National League North, National League South and Isthmian Premier Division to the Staxson Stadium.

Having started his career in the youth ranks of Dagenham & Redbridge, Jordy then went on to play for no less than 17 sides at a very respectable non-league level. Those teams include Whitehawk, Billericay Town, Hastings United, Lewes, Bishops Stortford, IK Gauthiod in Sweden, Bognor Regis, Walton Casuals, Hemel Hempstead Town, Wealdstone, Farnborough, Chatham Town, Hanwell Town, and most recently Cray Wanderers.

In the 2024/25 campaign, Jordy scored six goals in 22 appearances for Hanwell Town in the Isthmian League Premier South as his side reached the FA Trophy Third Round. Hanwell Town would be knocked out of the FA Trophy by Jordy’s youth side Dagenham & Redbridge; however, Jordy had since moved to Cray Wanderers having made his last appearance for his former side in mid-December. In late-December Jordy joined the side that he knocked out of the FA Cup with Hanwell Town at the First Qualifying Round back in September having scored twice against the Wanderes in the original tie before winning 1-0 in the Replay.

At Cray Wanderers, he scored three goals in 19 appearances in the Isthmian League Premier Division as his side finished just outside the Play-offs in seventh place.

Skye Salmon

Skye played under manager Reece Prestedge at Margate. Before signing for Margate he played for Billericay under-23s.When he signed for Margate, Reece said “Skye is quite a comfortable centre-back on the ball but puts his foot in when it’s needed”. After leaving Hartsdown Skye played for Glebe. He has also featured for Herne Bay..

Jamie Grossart

Young 23-year-old goalkeeper Jamie Grossart joins Sittingbourne for a second successive season having joined the Brickies back in December 2025. Jamie added to the storybook of on-loan goalkeepers getting injured whilst at Sittingbourne when he was on the wrong end of a serious head injury in March when an Erith Town attacker collided with ‘keeper.

Jamie started his career at Southend United, AFC Bournemouth and Colchester United’s youth academies before going on to play for Harlow, Maldon & Tiptree, Hashtag United, Aveley and Wingate & Finchley.

D’sean Theobalds

D’sean Theobalds signs on for another season at Sittingbourne as he looks to add to the 82 previous appearances for the Brickies.

The 30-year-old versatile midfielder made his debut for the club in August 2023 and has gone on to score 7 goals in those 82 appearances, 40 of those appearances came last season as he was a mainstay in the Sittingbourne side under the previous manager and current manager Reece Prestedge.

Theobalds possesses plenty of experience having played at Redbridge, AE Prat (Spain), Barkingside, Leatherhead, Concord Rangers, Tonbridge Angels, Korona Kielce (Poland), Unia Tarnow (Poland), Dartford, Welling United, Kingstonian and Bedford Town.

Joe Boachie:

Versatile attacker Joe Boachie signs on for a third consecutive season at the Brickies.

The 26-year-old attacker made his debut in August 2024, becoming a fan favourite throughout the 2024/25 season with his 11 goals in 40 appearances as the Brickies reached the FA Trophy Quarterfinal before being denied promotion in the Play-off Final despite finishing the season with 101 points.

Boachie, along with a lot of the squad from 2024/25 would move on to Step Three clubs. However, Joe would return to the Brickies in November after spells at Aveley and Cambridge City and would score 7 goals in 14 Sittingbourne appearances before his season was cut short due to injury.

Joe’s previous clubs include Grays Athletic, Concorn Rangers, Potters Bar Town, Braintree Town, Kingstonian, Hungerford Town, Tonbridge Angels, Royston Town, Hastings United, Folkestone Invicta, Wingate & Finchley, Broadbridge Heath, Aveley and Cambridge City.

Boachie will be desperate to add to his 18 goals in 60 appearances in the upcoming 2026/27 campaign.

Darren Foxley

Attacking midfielder, Darren Foxley signs on for a second successive season at the Brickies.
The 29-year-old joined last summer under previous management, Darren was one of the shining lights and many have
claimed he was unlucky not to win the Player of the Year award.
Foxley scored 7 goals in 42 appearances as the Brickies would qualify for the Play-offs for a
third consecutive season despite a strange campaign for the club before losing in the semi-
finals.
Despite the revolving door of attackers under previous management, a change in manager
in November, an extended season with an FA Trophy run and a January period where four
games were postponed, the experience of the 29-year-old attacker shone through which
made him a fans favourite amongst the Sittingbourne faithful.
Foxley has also played for Charlton Athletic, West Ham United and Dagenham & Redbridge
youth setups before going on to play for Barkingside, Sobham Town Rangers, Cambridge
City, Bishops Stortford, St Albans City, East Thurrock United, Woodford Town, Billericay
Town Hashtag United.

Harvey Smith

Harvey Smith signs on for a second season at the Staxson Stadium.
The attacker signed for Sittingbourne on a season long from Kent rivals Whitstable Town for
the 2025/26 season following a remarkable 2024/25 campaign with the Oystermen.
Coming off the back of winning the club’s golden boot award and scoring the match-winning
goal at Wembley as Whitstable went on to lift the FA Vase, Smith had a difficult start life with
the Brickies at the Staxson Stadium.
Within a month of the season started Harvey had suffered a broken collarbone which left the
attacker out for almost two months, by the time he had returned in early November, a return
to the club from fan favourites Troy Howard (loan) and Henry Sinai would mean getting back
into the side would be difficult with the two wingers scoring 33 goals between them last
campaign.
Within days of his return to the side as a substitute, a change in management came by mid-
November, and with that Troy Howard also left. In came Reece Prestedge as manager, and
a mixture of starts and sub appearances would follow as new manager Prestedge was
playing catch up as the previous manager had claimed that he was aiming to win promotion
but instead left the club 12 th in the table in mid-November.
Despite not starting every game, Harvey proved to be a valuable asset to the squad as the
attacker’s versatility gave health competition to the likes of Henry Sinai, Darren Foxley and
Derek Asamoah who all had an excellent campaign despite the strange season the club had.
By the end of the 2025/26 campaign, Smith had scored 6 goals in 34 appearances (15
starts, 19 sub appearances).
Smith has also played for Dartford, Ramsgate, Margate, Glebe and Whitstable Town – where
he won the FA Vase with in 2025.

Jean-Baptiste Fischer

He then moved to the USA for his studies where he played for Georgetown university before playing for Swansea University. The Frenchman has also played for Wycombe Wanderers, Braintree, Oxford City and Hayes & Yeading before he joined Sittingbourne in 2023, and has since made 55 appearances and scored 15 goals for the club.  Some of his goals have been truly spectacular with one from last season shown on ITV Meridian.

Gavin Hoyte

The experienced defender joined the Brickies from Folkestone Invicta last season. From starting his career at Arsenal at the age of 9 and featuring 3 times for Trinidad & Tobago, Gavin has appeared in the football league for Gillingham, Brighton, Dagenham & Redbridge, Lincoln City and Barnet.

A long-term injury, sustained towards the back end of the 2023/24, campaign saw the industrious midfielder out for twelve months until March 2025 but he still managed to squeeze in 9 games as Sittingbourne missed out on promotion courtesy of the dreaded penalty shootout in the Play-off Final.
