MANAGER Steve Claridge has drafted in a "strong, fit and quick" defender to his squad.

Louie Martin, from Horndean, went straight into Whites' team for the Salisbury Hospital Cup tie at Laverstock and Ford on Tuesday night.

The 23-year-old has experience at Wessex League Premier level and previously played for Gosport Borough, Blackfield and Langley and Fareham Town.

"Louie can player right back or centre back and will give us more than decent cover in the squad," said Steve. "He is big, strong, fit and quick."
