Robbie Simpson, Chelmsford City FC manager, said they were made aware of Dara by Non-League Chance.
Non-League Chance apparently had been following the midfield sensation’s progress in various clubs he had played with over the years.
“Dara played as a trialist in a game against Brentford B and based on his exceptional performance, Chelmsford City FC coaching team knew they needed to sign him. Dara plays both attacking midfield and centre midfield flawlessly. He is also fast, strong, athletic and very fit,” Simpson said.
He described Dara as a lovely kid, first and foremost.
“We look forward to him featuring regularly in Chelmsford City FC matches this season.”
Established in 1878, the football club is based in Chelmsford, Essex, England. Currently, members of the National League South, the sixth tier of English football, play at the Melbourne Community Stadium.
