Defenders Bradley Pearce and Jude Mason, who both graduated to the first team squad from the academy, have joined National League South Hampton & Richmond Borough on a month’s loan. Manager Matt Gray said: "Both Bradley and Jude have shown up really well in the first team during pre-season and both have great futures with us, but it’s important at this stage of their development for them to be playing competitive football regularly and they will get that with Hampton in the early part of the season."
