Eastleigh manager Richard Hill has said that Chris Zebroski deserves a second chance and he is happy to give that opportunity to a forward that he says has "something to prove". Zebroski played for the Spitfires for a short spell in 2013 before moving to Newport County. The 30-year-old was jailed during his time in South Wales for robbery and assault. He is looking to put that behind him now having signed a 12-month contract with Eastleigh with the option of a further year. Hill said: “It’s alright people in glass houses throwing stones, but I like to give people second chances. “I like people that have got something to prove and Chris has admitted he has done wrong in the past. “He needs another chance and he’s going to get that opportunity here. “He turned down opportunities with other clubs to come and play for us. Chris is as excited as anything to come and play for Eastleigh. “He liked it when he was here before and he wants to play for this football club.

Richard Hill has indicated that Ross Flitney's main responsibility on his return to Eastleigh will be that of goalkeeping coach. Flitney who won the Conference South with Eastleigh in 2013/14 comes with the added benefit of providing competition for the number one jersey. Hill said: “Ross will be registered as a player but don’t forget that Ben Strevens (coach) and Paul Reid (head of recruitment) are also registered players, but it’s not the case that they’re going to play that many games. “I’m not saying Ross won’t, but I’ve always said that he will be a good goalkeeper coach. “Forget his age, experience and everything else, I told him when he was here before that he should think about doing his badges and I said it again when he was with me at Whitehawk. “Until the last few weeks, Ross hadn’t been that interested, but I spoke to him again and told him this would be a nice opportunity for him. “I’ve seen him put on some very good coaching sessions and it’s a chance now
