Maidstone United sign goalkeepers Alexis Andre Jr and Lenny Holden on a busy day at the Gallagher Stadium
Maidstone have moved on from FA Cup hero Lucas Covolan – signing two goalkeepers in one day.
Covolan, man-of-the-match in the Stones’ 2-1 fourth-round victory at Ipswich, was offered a new contract after helping the club to the National League South play-offs.
But the Brazilian is keen to play higher up the pyramid, forcing the Stones to look elsewhere.
They’ve got their new No.1, signing Frenchman Alexis Andre Jr, a 27-year-old who left Woking towards the end of last season.
And they’ve also landed teenager Lenny Holden, who’s just completed a two-year scholarship at Leyton Orient.
Andre Jr, who started his career in England with Bristol Rovers, has also had spells with Folkestone, Dover, Maidenhead, Salisbury and Hashtag United.
“I’m very happy to be here,” Andre Jr told Stones TV.

“I can’t wait to get started and play.
“I’m feeling ready to play every single game here.
“I really enjoy the fact you guys have a big fanbase, a good support, so I love that and it can fully help me to be the best on the pitch with all the fans behind my back helping me to win.”
He’s signed for the Stones after impressing on trial.
“I feel like there’s a really exciting project going on here,” he said.
