Experienced centre-half Josh Hill returned to the Dartford defence for a third spell after leaving Hemel Hempstead Town at the end of last season. Having represented the Darts between 2013-14 and 2019-2022, the 32-year-old has notched up more than 75 appearances in all competitions while playing in black and white. During the 2019-20 campaign he made 42 starting appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring five goals.

Josh left Bericote Powerhouse Princes Park in July 2022, where he signed for Dulwich Hamlet. However, he never really settled there, going to Enfield Town and Hemel Hempstead Town on loan, until signing for The Tudors permanently.

Having also represented the likes of Coalville, Worksop, Boreham Wood, Havant & Waterlooville, St Albans City, Wealdstone, Braintree Town, and Welling United, Josh brings a wealth of experience to Ady Pennock’s defensive unit. His leadership qualities have not only been vital in helping Dartford’s title push, but have been crucial in mentoring the young defenders and players around him. Such qualities and experience mean that Josh has been given the Captain’s armband this season.

PAST CLUBS: Ilkeston Town, Coalville, Worksop, Dartford, Boreham Wood, Hemel Hempstead Town, Havant & Waterlooville, St Albans City, Wealdstone, Braintree Town, Welling United, Dulwich Hamlet, Enfield Town.
