A new trio for Deans

Friday saw Horndean bring in three new players, with Joe Goddard and Henry Yates arriving on a dual registration deal from Havant & Waterlooville and Ewan Lynch arriving from Didcot Town.

Defender Joe stepped up from the Hawks Academy to the first team squad in September last year, and actually made his debut against the Deans in a Hampshire FA Senior Cup tie. He spent some of last season on loan with Combined Counties Premier Division South side Alton FC and Wessex Premier Division side Baffins Milton Rovers.

Forward Henry took the same path as Joe from the Academy to the first team, spent some time on loan with Romsey last season, and has made three first team appearances for the Hawks. 

Forward Ewan makes a move from Didcot Town, but you might remember him from a spell at Ascot United at the end of the 23-24 season, when he played seven times. He was previously at Sandhurst Town, and spent a few years in the USA, where he played for Houston Sur and University of Indianapolis, the latter whilst on a Scholarship and over four years. Prior to his move across the big pond, he played for Maidenhead United at Under 18 and Under 23 level and spent some time at Binfield.
