Burgess Hill Town head coach Simon Wormull is actively looking for more players following the dparture of Ben Pope and Gary Elphick.

Striker Pope was the most recent to exit the Hillians, joining Sussex and Bostik Premier rivals Lewes. And his departure disappointed Wormull.

He said: “It was a bit of a shock. We had offered Ben a contract a few weeks ago which he accepted.

“We were just getting all the formalities done and he was going to sign the contract but Lewes put a seven-dayer in.
