Chris Dickson – Striker
Cray Wanderers announce the signing of experienced striker Chris Dickson to the club. Chris joins the Wands after a short spell at Erith & Belvedere following a successful spell at Hornchurch where he was a member of their FA Trophy winning team last season.
Chris who has been capped twice by Ghana began his career with Erith & Belvedere in 2004 and scored 35 league goals in two seasons before joining Dulwich Hamlet in 2006 scoring 31 goals in the 2006-07 season. This alerted the attention of Charlton Athletic and signed in 2007 and spent three seasons at the Valley making 28 league appearances and scored one FA Cup goal spending loan spells at Crewe, Bristol Rovers and Gillingham. He then spent a successful spell in Cypriot football particularly with AEL Limassol and played in Champions League and Europa League football whilst there and also in Chinese league football. When he returned to England he went into non-league football with Sutton United in 2016 and then on to Chelmsford City, Hampton & Richmond and then signed for Hornchurch in July 2019. Chris has scored close to 200 goals and played on dual registration with Dartford in the 2020-21 season.
Chris was capped twice by Ghana in the 2008-09 season and played against Cray Wanderers for Hornchurch earlier this season but left the Urchins in October joining his first club Erith & Belvedere. We welcome Chris to the Wands and hope he enjoys his time with the club.
