The former Portsmouth academy graduate, he left Fratton Park in 2018 to join SkyBet League One rivals Bristol Rovers.

 

Before leaving Pompey, he enjoyed a spell on loan with Vanarama National League South side Havant & Waterlooville, for whom he made 17 appearances.

 

He failed to make the senior side at Rovers but gained more experience with loan stints with Lewes` league rivals Bognor Regis Town as well as National League South sides Welling United and Hemel Hempstead Town.

 

The son of former Eastbourne Borough manager Tommy, Theo, will slot into the central midfield and give the Rooks more attacking options.

 

Lewes boss Hugo Langton told https://www.lewesfc.com: "I've known Theo for a long time and when I heard he was moving on from Bristol Rovers I was determined to sign him for Lewes. He played in our pre-season game against AFC Portchester a few weeks ago and impressed me then and I know he will do a great job for us.

 

"Our squad is building nicely, and Theo's addition brings some higher-level experience that will also help our youngsters develop. Hats off to Hugo for making this deal happen".
