Cray Valley (PM) are delighted to announce the signing of Crossley Lema and Charlie Edwards with both of them making their debut for the Millers in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Dover Athletic.

Crossley Lema

Crossley 26, a right sided defender / wingback, joins from Tonbridge Angels whom he joined last summer, making 36 appearances, scoring once. Jay Saunders Tonbridge Angels manager said "Crossley is a great lad who has been a pleasure to work with. He has been unlucky to find himself on the bench recently and feels that he needs to be starting regularly at this stage of the season.'

Crossley began his career through the youth ranks at Sutton United, taking in loans with Leatherhead and Walton Casuals, before making a permanent move to Leatherhead in 2020. Subsequent clubs include Margate and Carshalton Athletic where he played under Steve McKimm winning the Robins' Player of the Year award season 2022/23 making 46 appearances and scoring 6 goals. He later joined Welling United for season 2023/24 where he played 40 times
