The young right-back joined the Beavers in the summer following a year at Hendon under manager Gary McCann after leaving the West Ham United academy where he cut his teeth.
Ever-present last season, he made 48 appearances for the Greens, all across the backline.
Described as “an offer he couldn’t really refuse”, Eggleton’s scholarship will see him head to the East Midlands with McCann’s best wishes.
“We wish Jake well upon his new direction,” the manager told http://www.hamptonfc.net. “I am disappointed that the fans didn’t get to see Jake kick on and reach the heights that he achieved with me last season, but that’s football.” |
