Moralee Joins Chelmsford

Last updated : 16 June 2005 By Gary Fish

Former Barry Town striker Jamie Moralee has signed for Ryman League Premier Division club Chelmsford City.

The experienced 33-year old left Newport County
at the end of last season following a love-hate relationship with the Newport faithful and had plans to find football nearer his London home.

Moralee scored the goal which effectively kept them in the Conference south before declaring that he wanted to move closer to London.

"I've had a fair amount of stick from the some of the County supporters," he said.

"They wanted to see the back of me two months ago.

"I'm not a quitter and told them that I was going to be here to the end, whether it meant being on the bench or playing in the starting 11.

"Well, I kept my part of the bargain and scored the goal that kept the club up, so what better way to leave the club than scoring three goals in the last three games."
