We are delighted to announce the signing of Winger Kalvin Kalala!
26-year-old Kalvin Kalala joins the Clarets off the back of a successful season with Lewes. The Paris-born winger started his career in Italy, featuring for Jolly Montemurlo, Carpi and Savona. His time in England started at Cheltenham Town, before he moved on to Torquay United and featured in the Vanarama National League South for the Gulls. In recent years he has featured for Dartford, Dulwich Hamlet and most recently Lewes.
Manager Robbie Simpson said: “Kalvin is a really exciting winger.
Obviously with Jermaine Francis departing to Barnet we really wanted to get an exciting winger full of goals and assists at the club.
We have actually spoken about Kalvin all season this year, because we have been noticing what a good season he was having and we have spoke to people who have worked with him over a number of years.
He was won this division before with Torquay United and we spoke to a few players who played with him in that team and also a few players who have played alongside him more recently.
Kalvin has had offers from numerous other teams, including in the league above, but he feels that Chelmsford is the perfect next destination for him and we obviously believe so too.
We are really excited to seeing him in a Claret shirt and if has the same success as Jermaine then we are going to be a very happy management team and the fans are going to be very happy.
We can’t wait to see Kalvin at the Melbourne Community Stadium!”
Welcome to the Clarets Kalvin!
