Jeremy Walker has become the third player to have followed Danny Cowley from Concord Rangers to Braintree Town.

The 22-year-old Australian right-back has followed in the footsteps of Matt Fry and Taylor Miles in linking up with their former manager after he took over the reins at the Iron.

Walker has played in a few of Braintree’s pre-season games, including their 2-1 win against League One new boys Southend United on Friday and Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Thurlow Nunn League side Stanway Rovers.

And Cowley is pleased to have him on board permanently.

He said: Jez (Walker) has signed.

“He’s someone who was with us all last year at Concord.

“He’s come over from Australia and is an under-23 international with them.

“He’s a good player who got a bit of stick from crowds last year due to long flowing hair.

“But the Aussies are very competitive, just like England have been finding out in the cricket.”
