| Profile | Kieron played in the Club's first ever game away to Wallington C&C in September 1998. Since then he has racked up 93 appearances and 57 goals before a cruciate ligament injury against Clapham Old Xaverians in November 2002 brought his playing days to an early end. Still hopeful of gracing the hallowed turf in the magic stripes once more he has in the past two seasons brought his own management style to 'Fortress Croham Road' guiding the 1st XI to third and fourth place finishes respectively. Kieron's finest moment for the Club was his three assists in the 3-3 cup final draw with Wickham Wanderers, which was finally won on penalties with Whits having to endure 115 minutes with 10 men. Kieron also scored the first penalty in the shoot-out in front of a capacity crowd of about 100 at Carshalton Athletic's Colston Avenue ground. |
| Additional information | Kieron was fortunate enough to ensure that a (mis-applied) ban imposed whilst playing for Croydon Athletic did not render him unavailable for the team's meeting with Ipswich Town at Portman Road in the FA Youth Cup of 1994-95. Despite sustaining concussion during the game, Kieron captained the team to an impressive 4-0 defeat against a squad including the likes of Richard Wright. Kieron also has a level 1 FA Coaching Certificate (earned whilst employed by Crystal Palace FC). |
