Michael Eacott makes Farnham Town move

Former Bracknell Town goalkeeper Michael Eacott has signed for the Robins’ Southern League Premier Division South rivals Farnham Town.

Eacott’s departure from Bracknell was confirmed on 14 October with the glove saying: “After 4.5 years and almost 200 games, my time at Bracknell Town is up. From celebrating league success to back-to-back FA Cups, only to miss out on the play-offs. It’s been a pleasure to represent the club.”

The former Sutton Common Rovers goalkeeper was signed for Bracknell by former boss Bobby Wilkinson. The city have several former Robins listed in their squad including forward Great Evans, midfielder Darryl Sanders and defender Jack Dean.

He was part of one of Step 4’s most ruthless defenses, conceding just 12 goals as the Robins won Isthmian League South Central Division One on 21/22.

A statement released on social media by Farnham confirming the signing said: “We are delighted to announce the signing of goalkeeper Michael Eacott! Michael joins after leaving Bracknell Town earlier this month, helping them gain promotion to Step 3 and consecutive play-off places over a four-year spell!”

Farnham are ninth in the Southern League Southern Premier Division table with two games in hand on most of the teams above them. The club were in the First Round of the FA Cup where they were due to host Bishops Cleeve on Saturday but were knocked out of the FA Cup after losing in the Fourth Qualifying Replay to National League Sutton United.
