Michael Sacks and Ricky Engleman have joined the Tony Gold revolution at Takeley FC after joining from London Lions.

Under Gold, both players helped Lions win the Spartan South Midlands League Division One title last season and the manager is confident they will improve his team in the Essex Senior League.

Sacks and Engleman featured in the goalless draw against Greenhouse London — Gold’s first match in charge — Takeley’s first clean sheet in eight matches.

Speaking about his new signings, Gold said: "I've known Michael for many years. He’s very experienced and has played at a high level. He’s the mature sort of personality you want around the dressing room.
