On the scoresheet alongside Matt Rush to take Aveley top of the NLS in a 2-0 victory over Eastbourne Borough.

Just seen the goal, a cracking strike. Shame we couldn’t have kept hold of him.

Google a lad called Oli Coker

Difference is John is a goal scoring attacking midfielder, something the team has been desperate for for several years. Club unable to exercise option to extend his contract due to embargo and he took offer of regular football.

AVELEY continued their impressive start to the National League South season with a 2-1 win at table-topping Worthing.

I went to the Aveley game yesterday to watch Jon and Matt Rush play.

Good standard of play and the 3-0 Aveley victory was well justified.

Hattrick of assists for Rush and Benton was quality. Also a couple of others in that team that wouldn't look out of place in the VNL.

Fantastic little ground as well, decent main stand and watched the game while supping a chilled draft Strongbow Dark Fruits. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon.

On fire. Another assist this evening to send Aveley top of the National South.

 

[Mr Plow]

Scored the equaliser against Barnet in the 90th minute in a 2-2 draw.

 

[Target man]

Was a great strike. Great to see him again and catch up. Mentioned Beau Mcdonald to me playing for Southend today, said he knows him well and is highly rated.

 

[RobB11]

Everything points to him having a pro career in my opinion, everywhere he’s played regularly so far (albeit at a lower level) he has shone. I really think we’ll see him playing in the EFL before too long. He’s got something special about him. Perfectly happy with having kept Oli Coker he is a terrific talent and has great potential but would have been awesome to have kept Benton too.

JON Benton wants Aveley to finish what they started when they head to Barnet for an FA Cup replay.

Solihull Moors is delighted to announce the signing of attacking midfielder, Jon Benton!

Welcome to the Moors, Jon!

 

[tottenham541]

This guy should of never been allowed to leave in first place, will go even further in time and hope he does well for them.

 

[Ian Benjamin]

In 2 weeks he would probably have signed off for us - this embargo is killing us.

 

[Ricey]

Of all clubs to sign for! The one we are ****ing playing on Saturday.

I'll be pleased if thats the case, as Miley cant play. Benton wasnt as good as Husin or Miley or even Fonguck when he tried to break into the team after great loan spells.

 

[Evening Echo]

FORMER Southend United midfielder Jon Benton has joined Solihull Moors and could make his debut against the Shrimpers on Saturday.
