Burgess Baker

New centre back for the Hillians


Burgess Hill Town manager Simon Wormull has strengthened his squad ahead of Saturday's home fixture with Sevenoaks Town, bringing in centre back Junior Baker.

Junior spent last season with Hill's South East Division rivals, VCD Athletic, making thirty nine appearances and scoring three goals- although, of course, his main role was to stop them, not score them! He got three goals during the previous season for the Vickers, too, so he's certainly consistent, and the Hillians would undoubtedly be happy if he got his full quota at once at the weekend, as they will be looking to revenge themselves for their 3-0 FA Cup defeat against Oaks three weeks ago.

Junior turned out for Vickers local rivals Phoenix Sports prior to his move to Oakwood, and has also played for Grays Athletic, Tilbury and Cray Wanderers, amongst others.
