Sigere joins Margate

Margate have signed striker Jean-Michel Sigere from Nationwide Conference rivals Stevenage Borough.

Sigere scored for struggling Stevenage in their home defeat by Margate on Saturday, but has now made the switch to the Crabble for a fee of £7,500.

"Siggy is a strong and skillful striker capable of scoring a lot of goals," said Margate boss Chris Kinnear told the club's website.

"When Leon Braithwaite is fit and with Phil Collins playing well this will give us a potent threesome at the club."

Sigere, 25, joined Stevenage from Rushden and Diamonds in October, 2001 and scored 13 goals in 24 Conference starts.

His goal on Saturday was the former Bordeaux player's third of the season.

Ghanian midfielder Abdul Senena has also joined Margate on trial from Belgium club Royal Antwerp.
