FORMER West Ham and Canvey Island striker Lee Boylan has joined the coaching staff at Heybridge Swifts.
The 33-year-old has also been registered as a player for the Ryman One North side.
Boylan included Maldon & Tiptree among the non-league clubs he played for and it was there that he met current Swifts boss Jody Brown.
“Lee’s pedigree as a non-league goal-scorer has been almost untouchable over the years,” said Brown.
“His professional upbringing at West Ham makes him a great role model for our younger players.”
