We are thrilled to announce that Dan Wilks will be joining the Ives for the 2024/25 season.

Dan started his career at Watford before moving to St Mirren. He then moved to Maldon and Tiptree while on the books at Colchester United. He has made over 150 appearances at National League level with Welling and Dartford. He joins the Ives from Billericay where he had 18 clean sheets last season.

Ives manager Ricky Marheineke said “I’m delighted to welcome Dan to the club. He is a marquee signing and a really important boost for the squad in a position that has been a problem for us over recent seasons. He brings with him a winning mentality and a huge amount of experience. As soon as I was made aware that Dan was available it was a deal we had to get done and I’m really pleased we’ve secured his services. The supporters will love this addition.”
