The Pope of Whitehawk

Whitehawk have announced the signing of Hastings United striker Ben Pope.

Ben joined Hastings from Lewes back in May 2019, scored twenty two goals in thirty eight matches as they won the Pitching In Isthmian South East title in 2022, and went on to score another twelve in our top flight last season. He had twenty three goals to his name when the 2019-20 season was brought to a halt, and had four more in the very short 20-21 campaign, which finished almost as soon as it started.

Ben started his career at Worthing, went from youth ranks to the first team, and was attracting the attention of professional clubs when serious injury struck. He later played for Burgess Hill Town before signing for the Rooks.
