Ebbsfleet United signs talented mildfielder

Midfielder Jim Kellermann has become Ebbsfleet’s first signing of the summer.

The 28-year-old joins from National League rivals Woking, where he has spent the past two seasons.

Kellermann scored from the penalty spot against Ebbsfleet last season when the teams drew 1-1 at Kingfield in September.

But, having made 19 appearances for Woking, he missed the second half of the campaign due to injury

He’ll be ready to hit the ground running at the start of pre-season, however.

“It’s a good opportunity for me,” Kellermann told FleetTV. “I’m looking forward to getting into a new project.

“(The manager) didn’t have to sell much. I’ve played against Ebbsfleet a number of times, it’s a tough place to come here.

“It’s going to be an open playing field, that doesn’t make it easier, it makes it a lot tougher.

“Teams will be beating each other across the league but if you get a bit of momentum then you can really put your foot down.”

Kellermann initially came through the academy at Wolves, before joining Aldershot in 2016. He’s also had a spell in Scotland with St Mirren.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Chris Haigh has signed for National League South Worthing after his Fleet exit was announced on Monday.
