NEEDHAM Market have signed striker Kris Lee from Ryman League Division One North rivals Maldon & Tiptree.

Lee, who numbers both Chelmsford City and Hornchurch among his former clubs, joins Needham on a non-contract basis and goes straight in to the squad for tomorrow’s home game against Waltham Forest.

Needham manager Danny Laws said: “We are delighted to have secured the services of Kris Lee, who fits the profile exactly of the type of player we have been looking to add to the squad in recent weeks.

“The experience, physical presence and quality he brings has come at a crucial point as we move towards the business end of the season and I’m convinced that his attributes will enhance our push for promotion, and in particular help our young squad in the final weeks of the season.”
