Jamie Cureton signs for Eastleigh

-
Eastleigh have completed the signing of veteran striker Jamie Cureton.

Cureton has a wealth of experience having played over 750 professional games, with a goal-scoring tally of more than 250.

Jamie, 41, was playing and scoring goals in League Two only last season with Dagenham & Redbridge.

The former Norwich, Bristol Rovers, Reading and QPR striker has been prolific over the course of his career and will be looking to add to the attacking options for Ronnie Moore's Spitfires. 

He will join a pool of strikers which include this season's top goalscorer Mikael Mandron, last season's top scorer James Constable along with the recently signed Ryan Bird and summer signing Scott Wilson, who is currently injured.

Cureton spoke of his delight upon signing for Eastleigh: “I am delighted to be joining Eastleigh.

"It’s a club on the up with ambitions to get into the Football League and, with the squad and management team they have in place, it’s something I believe can happen this season.

"I’ll be looking to add to the group and hopefully we'll achieve what we all want, promotion come the end of the season.

"I would like to thank everyone at the club for making this move happen, I know it’s not been easy.”

The Spitfires boss Ronnie Moore added: "Jamie is and has always has been a goalscorer.

"We are a striker down with Scott Wilson having a hamstring injury.

"Jamie will give us goals. I see him as being an impact player.

"He can be the difference between us winning games. His goals can take us where we want to be come the end of the season.”

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.
