GRAYS Athletic manager Jamie Stuart has made his first signing since taking the reins, adding former Hayes & Yeading winger Sam Baffour.

The 21-year-old has joined the Blues ahead of the new Ryman Premier League season, with Grays looking to re-establish themselves in the division following a run of 10 straight defeats at the end of last term.

Baffour becomes the first name to link up with the club, having begun his career at AFC Wimbledon having also played for Chelmsford City, Waltham Abbey, Romford, Ashford Town and most recently Hayes & Yeading.

And Baffour said he was pleased to make the move.

“"I'm happy to be at Grays under Jamie,” he said. “”He's a good football man that knows he's stuff and I'm excited for the new season.

“I'm only 21 so I am still young, direct and fast and I will give the Grays fans entertainment."
