Dean James Robert Rance (born 24 September 1991) is an English footballer who plays for Ebbsfleet United as a defensive midfielder.
Career
Born in Maidstone, Kent, Rance joined the Gillingham Centre of Excellence at the age of eight.[4] He started an apprenticeship with the club during the summer of 2008 and his good form for the youth team earned him a call-up for the first team squad, being named on the bench for Gillingham's FA Cup game against Aston Villa in January 2009.[4] Rance finished the 2009–10 season as the youth team's top goalscorer, and in May 2010 signed his first professional contract with the club.[4] However, his opportunities in the first team were limited in the 2010–11 season by a foot injury sustained during a pre-season friendly.[4]
Despite this, he impressed during loan spells with non-League sides Maidstone United and Bishop's Stortford.[4] He signed a new one-year contract with Gillingham ahead of the 2011–12 season, during which he made his first team debut as a substitute in an FA Cup first round replay against Bournemouth in November 2011.[4]
Rance was loaned out to Conference South side Dover Athletic on a one-month loan on 2 March 2012.[5] He was released by Gillingham in May 2012 and signed a permanent contract with Dover.[6] Ahead of the 2013-14 season, Rance signed for Ebbsfleet United.
