Tonbridge Angels are pleased to welcome to the Halcyon Wealth Longmead Stadium, Nazir Bakrin.

Naz has been on trial at the club through pre-season and has impressed to earn a place in Jay Saunders’ squad.

Naz, a 21 year-old defender, comes to the Angels after being released at the end of last season by Charlton Athletic, where he has been since 2021 after a youth career at Fulham. He made three EFL Trophy appearances for the Addicks senior team.

He gained National League South experience in February at Weymouth where he made a couple of appearances, scoring once.

Jay Saunders commented: “Naz is someone we have known about for a little while although, as everyone knows, he came in as a trialist. We saw quite a bit of him at Charlton in their Under-23’s and when he got in contact with us to ask if he could come in and train it was a no-brainer for us and he has proved in the last weeks, now he has settled in a bit, what he brings., He can cover a few positions; he’s mobile and gives us more competition whilst still a good age. So, I think he is a real good addition to the squad.”
