Dan Vaughan has officially joined Welling United, bringing passion, grit, and over a decade of non-league experience to the National League South side.
After spells with Cordon Athletic, Glebe FC, and Chipstead, the 28-year-old midfielder says now is the perfect time to make his mark at step three.
“I made my men’s debut at 16. I’m 28 now. It’s time to push on,” Vaughan shared in his first interview.
Summary
Ready for the Challenge
The signing aligns with Welling’s renewed ambition under new manager Lee Martin. Vaughan’s move represents not just a fresh start but a statement of intent.
He emphasized his relentless attitude:
“I’m committed. I’ll win a header, make a tackle — anything for three points.”
With Martin’s vast experience from the Premier League down to non-league, Vaughan is eager to learn and thrive in a red shirt.
Backed by Experience
Vaughan credited Martin’s footballing background and vision for drawing him to Welling:
“When he asked me to come down, I could already see the ambition here.”
The new coaching team, built on a strong foundation of top-tier insight, is expected to guide Vaughan’s step up in class — and elevate the team’s competitive edge.
Big Goals Ahead
Welling United, once a staple at higher tiers, are pushing to reclaim their stature. Vaughan is here for that mission.
With his determination and Martin’s leadership, the club looks poised for an exciting campaign.
“It’s fantastic to be here,” said Vaughan. “I want to help this club get back to where it belongs.”
