Career

Benson was signed by Daggers boss John Still on July 1, 2005, after Still saw him on the pitch for White Ensign of the Essex Olympian League, where he scored 96 goals in his two seasons with the club. [http://www.daggers.co.uk/maindex.cfm?section=players&page=players Dagenham & Redbridge Roster] Benson's first season with the Daggers was frustrating, as Benson was not a regular, scored only one Conference goal, and was out for three months with a broken leg.cite news
