After a difficult start to their Ryman premier season, the Rocks needed inspiration – and they found it the form of Prior as they lured him back to the south coast on loan to Margate.

His first game back at home was against Hampton & Richmond and he duly hit a hat-trick. After four goals in four games he was back at Margate - but at the start of December, the clubs agreed a second loan deal that continues until January 7.

Prior’s return has lifted everyone at the club and has seen their previously-patchy form improve. But how long can the Rocks hang on to Prior?
