Billy has been busy on the final day of the season when we are able to sign players with four new faces (well, three new and one returning) bolstering the squad for the final fixtures.

Faris Khallouqi – We welcome Faris (pictured) back to Culver Road. Faris previously turned out for the Lancers during the 22/23 season. Capable of playing in Midfield or as a number 10, Faris has turned out for Broadbridge Heath, Hassocks and Haywards Heath since his last spell with us. We welcome Faris back to the Yellow and Blue army.

Louie Belsham – Combatitive Midfielder Louie joins us from Isthmian Premier League team Chatham Town’s academy, having been on loan to Welling Town until recently. Louie has appeared for Chatham’s first team in the Velocity Cup this season.

Fraser Trigwell – Goalkeeper Fraser comes to us on dual signing with Hassocks. Trigwell played for Worthing United, Broadbridge Heath and Steyning Town prior to joining Loxwood in the summer of 2020 and appearing against us in the final of 2021 Southern Combination Supplementary Shield competition. Fraser was ever present for Hassocks in 23/24 and will provide cover for the currently suspended Alieu Secka.

Freddie Warren – Freddie joins us from Eastbourne Town where he has made 29 appearances this season. Freddie has been with Eastbourne since the 23/24 season and was previously with Billy at Hastings United and plays as a forward.

We look forward to welcoming all 4 to Lancing and would also like to express our thanks to club secretary John Rea for getting these over the line yesterday!
