The Portland-born 21-year-old was released by the Spitfires at the end of the season, having scored 4 goals in 40 appearances - mostly from the bench.

Bearwish was with Eastleigh from the age of 16 and graduated from the Spitfires’ academy to the first team.

During that time, he had loans spells with Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South neighbours Dorchester Town in 2017 and his home-town side, Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) Portland United, in 2018.

Weymouth boss Brian Stock told https://uptheterras.co.uk: “He’s technically a very good player. He can get forward he can score goals and brings a lot of energy to the team. That’s something we highlighted (as being important) at the end of the season and Tom brings that.

“He’s a great lad, he’s got a lot of potential and I think it’s a very good signing for us. I like the fact that he’s a local lad and I think it’s a really great fit for us and Tom and I’m looking forward to working with him.

“He’s had a really good education over the last few years being at Eastleigh full time and I think it’s the right time for Tom to nail down a position. He’s very versatile and I think it’s now important he nails down what type of player he wants to be.

“After I was made aware of his availability, I asked other players and managers for feedback on Tom I didn’t have one bit of negative information about Tom and I think that speaks volumes for him”.
