The 21-year-old defender returns to the club for a second spell after agreeing a loan deal that will initially run for up to three months with an option to remain at the club until the end of the season.

Ian spent some time on loan at Grays in 2011, playing just once in a 1-1 draw against Heybridge Swifts. He has some experience playing in the Ryman Premier having spent the last season on loan at Kingstonian where he featured in 37 games in all competitions.

Ian was signed in time to play against Lewes FC tomorrow afternoon and we would like to thank Terry Grover at Dagenham and Redbridge FC for his help in getting the deal completed.
