FORM GUIDE

Aldershot Town – L-L-W-D-L

Tuesday, the Shots had a difficult test on Tuesday as they travelled to the Hive to take on Barnet. The Bees took the lead on the stroke of half time thanks to a goal from Danny Collinge, their lead was doubled on the 49^th minute thanks to Nicke Kabamba. The Shots did manage to get a goal back thanks to Lorent Tollaj, however they couldn’t find an equaliser before the full time whistle.

PLAYED FOR BOTH?

Harfield is a player that began his career at AFC Bournemouth before going out on loan in the National League which included a stint with Boreham Wood during the 2017/18 season where he was on the bench for our play-off final against Tranmere Rovers. From there he has gained a lot of Vanarama National League experience making over 150 appearances in the division with Dagenham and Redbridge, Weymouth and now Aldershot Town. He was recently rewarded with a new contract at the Shots that will keep him at the club until 2025. The full back has a dangerous delivery from wide areas.
