Over the years, he was always Colchester's stand out player against Notts

As for Dagenham’s new signing, while Freddie Sears may be past his prime, he should still prove effective in the National League.

The news about Freddie Sears is intriguing; I was under the impression he was still with Colchester United. Is Alan Judge still on their books?

It is likely that he earned a decent salary during his time at Colchester, which is why I suspect he was let go by the club. In the National League, clubs are not as strictly bound by the Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. Therefore, his signing by Dagenham and Redbridge can be seen as a lucrative move for both parties involved.

Freddie Sears, although a highly skilled player and a valuable addition to his new club, seems to be somewhat injury-prone at this juncture of his career.

Freddie Sears is only 31, right? That’s not old for a player of his calibre. I’m not very familiar with his injury history, but if that can be managed, he should be one of the top players in the National League.

hes still a very good player that has a lot to offer, i think it will be a great signing for dagenham and redbridge.

I said to my dad earlier, I felt surprised that Derby didn't go in for him since they have to rely on free transfers, and he could have been a decent short term option. Dagenham & Redbridge may have made one of the best signings this National League if it pays off.
