A product of the Rocks` youth team, Pearce has produced some excellent performances since being promoted to the first-team and has scored an impressive number of goals.
Has also played for Southern Combination League side Midhurst & Easebourne and represented the England Colleges side in Italy.
Bognor boss Jack Pearce has revealed the forward wanted to leave this time last year but was persuaded to remain at the club for what turned out to be a disappointing campaign in the Vanarama National League South that ended in relegation.
Now Pearce has switched to Woodside Road for an undisclosed fee and joins a burgeoning squad being assembled by Rebels` boss Adam Hinshelwood.
Pearce told his club`s website: "Ollie wanted to leave last season and take on what he described as a new challenge. But I convinced him to stay and he did so. This time around he has made his mind up to leave after seven years with us, and we can only respect his wishes.
“Ollie made his debut for us at 17, and played something like 270 appearances, scoring more than 80 goals. We wish Ollie all the best as he pursues his new challenge.
Pearce took to Twitter to say a fond farewell to the Rocks. He wrote: "Thank you to the club and the fans for the past five years, from the FA Trophy run to promotion last year will always be highlights in my career. It’s now time for me to move on ... good luck for the season".
