AFC Totton boss Steve Riley has strengthened his squad with the signing of exciting, young midfielder/forward Jack Hoey from Evo-Stik Southern One South & West rivals Bashley.

A former Christchurch youngster, Hoey caught the eye playing Sydenhams Wessex football for Alresford earlier this season and stepped into the Southern League with Bash in December.

He is available to make his Totton debut at home to Shortwood United on Saturday.

Another Christchurch graduate, AFC Bournemouth's development squad skipper Harry Cornick, has joined Conference South promotion chasers Havant & Waterlooville on a month's loan.

Cornick, 19, got a surprise first-team call-up for Cherries in their FA Cup tie against Rotherham last month.

He went straight into Havant's starting line-up for last night's 0-0 home stalemate with St Albans.
