Enter Centre Stage: Jesse Debrah

By his own admission, dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s only happened in the 48 hours before the weekend. Once his loan move had the green light, the clock was ticking. The 25-year-old Croydon-born centre-back had just enough time to travel down from the West Midlands and squeeze in one training session before being thrown in at the deep end for Bromley’s ‘derby’ encounter.

Watching that game, you would never have guessed that Debrah had only met his teammates the day before, much less that he was forging a brand new defensive partnership with another last-minute loanee and fellow debutant, Zech Medley.

Debrah’s performance at Gillingham showed why he was Bromley’s primary target when it became clear that Deji Elerewe would be leaving the club.
