New loan signing

-
Henrik Breimyr, a Norwegian Under 18 International, has today agreed a one month loan from Aldershot Town FC.

Henrik - who made his debut for the Shots at the end of last season, signed a new professional contract earlier in the summer. We hope to complete the formalities in time for Henrik to be available for our home game against Woking tomorrow night (kick off 7.45pm).

Eastleigh FC can also confirm that goalkeeper Mike Green has been released, and (it is understood) has signed for Gloucester City, who play in the Blue Square North.

HENRIK BREIMYR - Player Profile from http://www.theshots.co.uk/

Henrik BreimyrHenrik is a tall, strong Norwegian-born central midfielder, who is the elder brother of Shots youth team midfielder Andreas Breimyr and whose early career saw him play schoolboy football at Fulham and Reading.

During his time at the Madejski Stadium, Henrik worked with then Shots assistant manager Martin Kuhl and it was that connection that, following his release by the Royals, saw him join Aldershot Town's academy in the summer of 2009.

He was a part of the Shots' youth team that beat Havant and Waterlooville to win the Hampshire Midweek Floodlit Cup in 2010 and, after progressing to the reserves, was on the losing side against AFC Totton in the Hampshire Senior Cup final a while later. Having been spotted in an FA Youth Cup tie against AFC Wimbledon, Henrik had a trial at Chelsea's academy in February 2011 and was also the subject of reported interest from West Ham United.

Shortly afterwards, Henrik finished as one of the two runners-up (the other being Aaron Woodley of Oxford United) to Wycombe Wanderers' Kadeem Harris in the 'League Two Apprentice of the Year'.

Towards the end of the 2010-11 season, Henrik received his first call-up to Norway's under-18 squad for the Slovakia Cup (he went on to play in all four games, including the defeat by Denmark in the final) and saw his talents earn him the ultimate prize of a two-year pro contract at the EBB Stadium.

Pre-Shots Senior Debut Stats:

2008-09

1 + 2 youth team appearances

2009-10

23 + 6 youth team appearances, 3 goals; 4 + 3 reserve team appearances

Eastleigh 3-1 Newport County

EASTLEIGH V NEWPORT COUNTY MONDAY 12th MARCH 2007 Conference South So far so good, as Eastleigh pressed on with their busy schedule with a second comprehensive win in as many days. Yet another classy performance from the Spitfires saw them come out firing on all cylinders finding themselves two goals to the good in the blink of an eye, and just like they did in the Farnborough match at the weekend, they comfortably saw the game out. The only change from the winning side, saw Liam Green replace the injured David Hughes in the centre of midfield. Newport were panicking from the start with the excellent Steve Watts and Jamie Brown letting their presence be felt up the front, giving their opponents no time on the ball. The constant chasing down and pressure from the two Eastleigh forwards almost led to catastrophe in the third minute for Newport, as Stewart Edwards played across his own goal with his keeper missing the ball before it was eventually hacked away. Scorer of Eastl
