Dale-lightful!

Eastleigh FC Ltd are delighted to announce the signing of Dale Binns from newly promoted Woking as boss Ian Baird continues to strengthen his squad for next season.

30 year old Binns, a pacy left-sided player has now fully completed all the usual paperwork and signs for the Spitfires initially on a one-year deal.

Ian Baird commented "I am delighted to have been able to attract Dale to the club, he is a quality player who can play anywhere down the left side and will add genuine pace to the squad. He wants to be a part of what we are trying to achieve at the club and although a little way off, he like everybody else is eager to get the new season off and running."

Binns started his footballing career with Tottenham Hotspur before enjoying a long and successful spell at Hendon where he played over 200 games, scoring 41 times, before joining Conference South outfit, Cambridge City in 2004.

After two years with City he joined Stevenage Borough in the summer of 2006 but didn't get the opportunity to impress and was released in 2007.

Wide man Binns was then part of the Lewe’s promotion-winning side in 2008, subsequently gaining promotion again with Hayes and Yeading after a spell at Maidenhead United.

He then joined Farnborough in June 2010 and was voted a member of the BSBS ‘team of the year’ that season.

Dale joined Woking in the summer of 2011, making a huge impact in their promotion campaign with 36 appearances, scoring 3 times. This will be bad news for Paul Doswell as Dale’s favorite opponents would seem to be his Sutton United, often scoring or collecting man of the match awards.

Eastleigh 3-1 Newport County

-

EASTLEIGH V NEWPORT COUNTY MONDAY 12th MARCH 2007 Conference South So far so good, as Eastleigh pressed on with their busy schedule with a second comprehensive win in as many days. Yet another classy performance from the Spitfires saw them come out firing on all cylinders finding themselves two goals to the good in the blink of an eye, and just like they did in the Farnborough match at the weekend, they comfortably saw the game out. The only change from the winning side, saw Liam Green replace the injured David Hughes in the centre of midfield. Newport were panicking from the start with the excellent Steve Watts and Jamie Brown letting their presence be felt up the front, giving their opponents no time on the ball. The constant chasing down and pressure from the two Eastleigh forwards almost led to catastrophe in the third minute for Newport, as Stewart Edwards played across his own goal with his keeper missing the ball before it was eventually hacked away. Scorer of Eastl...
