Eastleigh can today reveal that we have completed the signing of Jack Midson.

Speaking today Hill said: ‘I’ve spent the past two-and-a-half weeks speaking to James and telling him all about what we are striving to achieve here. On the three occasions we’ve met, and during numerous telephone conversations, the subject of money has never been raised. ‘In truth, James was keen to stay at Oxford and overhaul the club’s scoring record; a feat that after six years ...
