He’s another signing that more than fits our ethos of recruiting and developing young and hungry players. He’s a great character and wants to learn.”

The 19-year-old played against Hastings for VCD Athletic in an Emirates FA Cup preliminary round tie at The Pilot Field back in August.

That was one of 13 appearances he made for VCD this season prior to joining Kingstonian in November. He subsequently played five times for Kings in November and December, winning four of those games.

Eweka made 10 appearances for National League South club Dartford last season, as well as having loan spells with Leatherhead and Rochester United.
