It's the man who scores- it's Lloyd Dawes!

As revealed in the Hastings Observer this morning, Hastings United have signed Worthing forward Lloyd Dawes.

Lloyd has spent most of his career with the Mackerel Men (although for most of it they were known as the Rebels!), and was regularly prolific in front of goal, with a record of almost a goal every two games between 2014 and 2017, when he departed to make the step up to the National League South and sign for Eastbourne Borough. He also had a very, very short spell with Lewes in 2016-17, scoring a goal a game, but was soon back at Woodside Road.

His time at Eastbourne was beset by injuries and setbacks, and he headed back to Worthing last season, making thirty appearances- many as an attacking midfielder rather than a striker- and scoring nine goals. You can read more about his return by heading here, but he seems rather excited to be at Pilot Field.

“I’m buzzing to sign for Hastings United and looking for a new challenge at a really exciting club.

“Having played against the Us last season I know how good this team is and I cannot wait for the season to get started and play for all the supporters at The Pilot Field.”
