Burgess Hill sign two from the seaside

Burgess Hill Town have announced the signing of a goalkeeper and a defender- the first from Brighton & Hove Albion, the second from Worthing.

Goalkeeper Fynn Talley has made five appearances for the Seagulls Under 18 side this season- indeed he was in goal against Manchester City Under 18's in the Quarter-Final of the Premier League Cup just last week- after joining the club from Arsenal in July 2018. He started his football career as a youngster at Worthing Town, and has been part of the England Under 16 squad.

Reggie Ward comes in from Worthing. Part of the Sussex Under 18's Representative Squad last month- managed, co-incidentally by Hillians boss Jay Lovett- Reggie made his Hillians debut from the bench in midweek as they defeated Chichester City in the Velocity Trophy.
