18. Ben Dempsey

On loan from Charlton Athletic

Ben joined the Cards for a second loan spell in October 2020, shortly after the start of the new National League season. A tough-tackling central midfield player, he originally enjoyed a month's loan starting in February of the same year, making an immediate impact and helping the team to two wins and two draws in five league outings before the season was cut short.

A highly promising member of the Charlton Athletic youth team, he made his debut for the London-based club in August 2018, appearing twice in cup competitions - once in the League Cup and once in the EFL Trophy - also spending time on loan at Alan Dowson's former club, Kingstonian. Last season saw him graduate to the fringes of the first-team, playing four times in the Championship, including during a 2-2 draw with promotion-chasing West Bromwich Albion. He also spent time on loan at National League South side Dulwich Hamlet before making the move to the Laithwaite Community Stadium after the turn of the year. Now he returns to Woking looking to pick up where he left off in the fifth tier.
