Bognor Regis Town secure another three signings

Utility man Ethan Robb, midfielder Charlie Bell and young central defender Danny Howick have all agreed in principle to sign for Bognor as Blake and assistant manager Jamie Howell gear up for next season.

Skipper Harvey Whyte, experienced defender Craig Robson and the industrious Calvin Davies, who can play in midfield or as a full-back, have already committed to the cause.

And Blake, who took over the reins from long-serving Jack Pearce towards the end of last season, says he expects to be able to name more recruits sooner rather than later. But the former Premier League hotshot has asked supporters to be patient as the club navigate their way through the hectic transfer period.

Blake said: "We're certainly getting there with negotiations and to get Ethan, Charlie and Danny on board is great news and we are delighted to have the lads with us again.
