Welling United are delighted to confirm the arrival of midfielder Finn Ballard-McBride.

The 25-year-old Australian began his career in the youth setup of Sydney FC, his hometown club, and went on to represent their U20 and reserve sides.

He made the move to the USA in 2019 where he remained for four years, representing the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the University Kentucky, before heading to the United Kingdom, signing for Eastbourne Borough in January 2024.

Ballard-McBride made a total of 22 appearances for the Sports, scoring three times, including winners against Aveley and Boreham Wood earlier this season.

He now joins the Wings following his release from Eastbourne earlier this week and becomes the fourth new arrival at Park View Road from East Sussex following the signing of James Alabi and the loans of Jayden Davis and Daniel Quick on Wednesday.
