Steve Claridge has snapped up young midfielder Dom Jefferies after his somewhat
surprise release by SkyBet League Two side Newport County.
The
17-year-old, who made one senior appearance for the Exiles in an EFL Trophy tie
against West Ham United under-23s in September 2019, spent a month on loan with
Salisbury in 2019/20, making 2 appearances and scoring one goal before being
re-called by County.
Also
joining the Whites is 27-year-old defender Jack Ball from league rivals Hartley
Wintney.
Ball (pictured) was with Hartley Wintney`s join boss Anthony Millerick at Cove a few years ago.
He
then moved to America where he studied at university and also played for the Le
Moyne Dolphins who won the State championships twice in a row.
Ball,
who can play up front but is renowned as a solid centre-half, made 19 league
appearances in 2019/20 and scored 2 goals. |
