Daish's are currently sixth in Blue Square Bet South

Ebbsfleet United manager Liam Daish has strengthened his squad by signing Brentford defender Ryan Blake on a one-month loan deal.

The 19-year-old goes straight into the squad for Tuesday's game with Hampton & Richmond Borough at Stonebridge Road.

Fans' donations funded the move through the My Football Club Promotion Pledge, plus a donation from the Fleet Trust.

"Without these fundraising initiatives we would not have been able to bring in Ryan or Conor Okus," said Daish.

The Fleet boss told the club's website: "With injuries to Derek Duncan and Scott Ginty, plus Ram Marwa's suspension, we needed these reinforcements with the busy schedule that faces us."

Blake has made just one appearance for Brentford and has represented Northern Ireland at youth level.

The Bees have granted permission for him to be involved in the Fleet's FA Trophy tie at Droylsden on Saturday.
