He then played for Bishop's Stortford, Histon and Bishop's Stortford (again), before joining Chelmsford City in December 2009 where he seems to have been converted into a full back.

He moved back to Walton & Hersham in September 2009 where he remained first choice until the end of the season. He started the 2010-11 season at ill-fated Windsor & Eton, before rejoining Hayes & Yeading United where he was appointed as player/goalkeeping coach in July 2011.

Left sided player Emond Protain first played for Wembley and moved to Harrow Borough in the summer of 2000. He arrived at the Warren in the summer of 2002 and had an impressive first season earning him the coveted Players’ Player of the Year Award in May 2003. He also played in the FA Cup 3rd round tie against Newcastle United in January 2005, and as the ESPN report says, “if only his powerful header had been six inches lower”. Having made 157+15 appearances, scoring 18 times, Emond left in December 2005 for Windsor & Eton and ended that season back at Harrow Borough. He spent the entire 2006-07 season at Leyton, and then had a trial at Hendon pre-season 2007-08 but didn’t sign.
