Hawks defender heads to Burgess Hill

Burgess Hill Town have announced the signing of former Horsham skipper Joe Shelley, who moves up the road from Pitching In Isthmian South East promotion winners Whitehawk.

Joe was a powerhouse in the Horsham defence as they won the SCFL title a few years ago, and established themselves back at Isthmian level. He was at the centre of their defence as they triumphed in the Isthmian South East Play Off Final in 2019, and went on to play regularly and successfully in our top flight, before moving to Saltdean United.

He joined the Hawks at the start of last season, making twenty three appearances and scoring eleven goals.

He has also played for the likes of Worthing United, East Preston, Hastings United, Horsham YMCA and Pagham.
