Player News - Bubb in on loan

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa308/jamieefc/Cornerimagelogo.jpgEastleigh FC can confirm the signing of Bradley Bubb on loan from Aldershot, until the end of the season.

Bradley is an exciting forward, and was a key player for Farnborough last season - prior to joining Aldershot. Bubb has most recently been on loan with Blue Square Bet South neighbours Basingstoke Town.

Bubb boasts an outstanding scoring record in a career that has taken him from the Spartan South Midlands League with Chalfont St Peter to the npower League Two.

He netted 38 times in two years for Chalfont before banging in 35 goals in a single season with Beaconsfield SYCOB in the Southern One South & West.

A move to Farnborough followed where he scored 40 times in 88 games over two seasons and was a member of the side that finished runners-up in the BSB South last term.

That clinched him a full-time contract at Aldershot, but Bubb, who represented Grenada in the CONCACAF Cup in the USA during the summer, has found opportunities limited at the Recreation Ground.

Manager Ian Baird commented: "We needed to add a few more guns up front, someone with experience and a good scoring record who will give us genuine pace. Bradley fits that category."

Bradley joins fellow new signing Philip Appiah at the Silverlake Stadium. The 22-year-old completed his switch from Farnborough ahead of the weekend defeat against Dover Athletic, where the midfielder made his Spitfires debut.

Baird said: "At 22, Philip's the right age for us. He fits in with what we are trying to do in the short and long term.

"I've tried to sign him before but haven't been able to get him for some reason.

"I saw quite a bit of him at Hayes & Yeading. When he played against us for Farnborough earlier this season I felt he was the best player in their side. He's a similar sort of player to (ex-Spitfire) Anthony Riviere.

"We haven't paid a fee for him, he was non-contract at Farnborough."
 
The club can also confirm that Ross Bottomley has left the Club, and is expected to join AFC Totton. Thanks for all your efforts Ross, and all the best for the future.

Richard Gillespie has completed his loan spell at Bashley, having scored 5 goals, and returns to training tomorrow.
