Sean Shields has joined Ebbsfleet United on a one-month loan.

The 22-year-old spent three months at St Albans City, scoring five goals in 13 starts, including the winner in a 1-0 win over Havant and Waterlooville in his final game, before returning to League Two Dagenham and Redbridge.

Shields, who was an unused substitute in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Welling United in the FA Trophy, joins fourth-placed Fleet until January 10.
