MulDOOn MAKES STOnES MOVE

settle in quickly and it helps having been here in pre-season.

“Centre-midfield is my position. I’m a box-to-box player, I try to create a few things and chip in with a few goals.

“When I was at Charlton they liked me to play in the holding role, so I can do that as well but I do like to be in the action and try to get involved as much as I can.”

Muldoon grew up at Charlton but was released in January, with Gillingham stepping in.

The midfielder, who can also fill in at right-back, played four times as Gills survived relegation on the final day of the League 1 season.

It was a tough spell for Muldoon, whose final appearance came against Peterborough in March.

He said: “I finished last season at Gillingham but they didn’t renew my contract so I have to start again, and see what happens. “I didn’t play as mu c h as I’d have liked. I signed in February but there were quite a few midfielders and it was difficult trying to break into the team playing out of position and it didn’t really let me kick on. It wasn’t the best.

“The results were difficult. We were in a bit of a rut at the end of the season. We stayed up on the last game.

“It was never set in stone that I was going to get a new contract.

“I was there until the end of the season and they said if we stay up we’ll negotiate again but it never happened. That’s football.”

Muldoon had a loan spell at Braintree last season, so he knows what the National League is about.

He said: “It’s not too different but the football is going to be slower and the ball might be up in the air a bit more but the main thing is the competitiveness is still there.”

Stones boss Jay Saunders said: “Ollie will add some depth to the squad because we’re thin on the ground at the moment.

“He’s got good legs and I just felt he could improve us. What he needs now is to settle at a club.”
