We are delighted to confirm our tenth retained Hillian ahead of our return to the Isthmian Premier, is local lad Martyn Box.

Martyn, born and bred in Burgess Hill, first made his debut for the club back as a 17 year old and will now be entering his 7th consecutive year with his hometown club.

Box, currently one appearance shy of 150 with 19 goals in total for the Hillians, managed 29 appearances last season in an injury hit campaign but still managed 5 goals and 11 assists, including the vital opener against Margate in the Play Off semi Final.

Boxy started his career in the Brighton & Hove Albion Academy before signing a professional contract at Barnet, which is where he first came to the Hill on loan, before joining us permanently.

More returning Hillians and new faces will be announced in due course.
