We are absolutely delighted to confirm our eighth retained Green and Black ahead of next season is our longest serving Hillian, Reggie Ward.

Reggie, who is loved by all the fans, has so far made 164 appearances, scoring 8 times from defence and made another 51 appearances for the Hill this season as we gained promotion back to Step 3.

Joining the Hill back in 2019, Reggie was on the books at Brighton & Hove Albion from an early age and has played under Jay Lovett at Sussex youth level.

Ward has strong ties to the club as he is related to Burgess Hill icon Ian Chapman and the 22 year old has once again signed on for his 7th season in Mid Sussex.

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

C O Y H.
