Bromley have sealed a triple deal, bringing in goalkeeper Shamal George and defenders Jacob Mendy and Chanse Headman ahead of the new season. The signings arrive while the Ravens sit 1st in League Two with 87 points, a 2‑game winning run and a recent 3‑1 victory over Walsall.

Who are the new arrivals?

Shamal George, 28, joins on a free after leaving Wycombe Wanderers earlier this summer. He spent the 2025‑26 campaign on loan at St Mirren, where he helped the Scottish side lift the League Cup. His career started at Liverpool, followed by spells at Carlisle United, Tranmere Rovers and Marine before a move to Colchester United in 2020 and then Livingston, where he logged 80 appearances.

Jacob Mendy, 29, also arrives on a free after parting ways with Peterborough United. The Gambian international featured in just 12 games last season due to injury, but his résumé includes Wrexham’s back‑to‑back promotions to the Championship. He adds experience and versatility to Bromley’s back line.

Chanse Headman, 21, is the only player with a disclosed fee, moving from Harrogate Town for an undisclosed sum. The former League Two side’s defender made 16 appearances in the latter half of the 2025‑26 season before Harrogate’s relegation.

Why do these signings matter for Bromley?

The trio strengthens a squad already leading the table by a single point over Milton Keynes Dons. Adding a reliable shot‑stopper like George should tighten a defence that has already conceded 46 goals this campaign. Mendy’s international experience and Headman’s youthful energy give the manager more options on the flanks and at centre‑back, crucial as the club aims to maintain its 71‑goal tally while keeping the goal difference at +25.

How will the new players fit into the team?

Manager Mark Bennett is expected to slot George straight into the starting XI, rotating with the current keeper to keep competition high. Mendy will likely partner the existing centre‑backs in a back‑three, offering a left‑footed option that complements the squad’s style. Headman, having already faced League Two opposition, should slot into the left‑back role, providing width and defensive solidity.

What’s next for the Ravens?

With the transfer window closing soon, Bromley have completed their first four summer signings in just 24 hours, the latest after midfielder Kamil Conteh arrived from Bristol Rovers on Thursday. The club now turns its focus to the upcoming fixtures, hoping the fresh faces can help extend the current two‑game winning streak and keep the lead at the top secure.

The Ravens will look to build on their recent 3‑1 win over Walsall (2026‑05‑02) as they chase promotion, hoping the new signings can add depth and quality to a squad already boasting 71 goals this season.
