EASTLEIGH have welcomed in a third new signing for this afternoon's Vanarama National League showdown at home to Barrow.

Coming straight into a much-changed starting line-up is former Newport County and Port Vale midfielder Ryan Burge, who became a free agent in December when he was released by league rivals Sutton United.

The Cheltenham-born 28-year-old - an ex-Glenn Hoddle Academy player - has followed Spitfires old boys Paul Reid and Matt Tubbs into the club this week as director of football/caretaker boss Richard Hill attempts to turn the club's worrying run of results around.
