Chapman gets busy at Hillians

Ian Chapman is stepping up his summer revamp at Ryman League Burgess Hill Town.

The Ryman South manager has signed two more young players, promoted three from their youth team and found a replacement for departed keeper Mark Zawadski.

Former Worthing, Three Bridges and Horsham stopper Alan Mansfield replaces Zawadski while Greg Luer, Curtis Gayler and Matt Morrish - all members of last season's Ryman Youth League-winning side - have committed themselves for the coming season at Leylands Park.

Over the weekend Chapman also brought in two new players, Scott Kirkwood and Craig Knowles, from Worthing and Steyning Town respectively.

Midfielder Kirkwood has previously played for Brighton, Crawley Town, Hastings United, Lewes, Eastbourne Town and Bognor Regis Town. As an attacking midfielder, Knowles scored 22 goals in 28 outings for Sussex County League Division Two side Steyning last season.

Town's top scorer Pat Harding and defensive duo of Sam Fisk and Toby Pointing also re-signed for the Hillians last week.
