Dagenham Boosted By JPT Success

Last updated : 05 September 2015 By County Ground

The Johnstone's Paint Trophy victory was a first of the season for the East London club and first-team coach Warren Hackett is hopeful that it will give a boost to his squad.

Speaking to the official club website he said: “I’m really pleased for the boys, it’s been coming, and I know it’s not a league game, but every game counts."

With one of the smallest budgets in the league and facing fierce competition for support around their home patch, the Daggers are perennial favourites for relegation but have consistently punched above their weight and will be confident of doing so again despite their slow start.

The likes of Nyron Nosworthy and Jamie Cureton provide plenty of experience while former Cobbler interest comes from defender Joe Widdowson who made 75 appearances for Northampton between 2012 and 2014.
