Take three to the Pilot

Hastings United last night announced three new additions, as new boss Paul Barnes continues to prepare for his first season in charge.

Sam Okoye, a defender, has previously played for Hitchin Town and Kings Langley- but his football education started when he was an Arsenal schoolboy. He has also spent time with Wingate & Finchley, as part of their Under 23 setup, and had a trial with Watford in the summer of 2021.

Ryan Atkinson, another defender, played for Corinthian in Pitching In isthmian South East during the 21-22 campaign. He has also turned out for South Park Reigate, Whyteleafe, Fisher, and Glebe.

We don't know much about Manny Sontan, but if he's who we think he is (sometimes the internet isn't your friend!) he spent some of last season turning out for Lewisham Borough in the SCEFL, and was previously with Whyteleafe and Croydon. We believe he's a forward!
