Dawes Completes Eastbourne Switch

27 Sep 2017 By Steve Whitney

Eastbourne Borough have confirmed they have signed striker Lloyd Dawes for an undisclosed fee from Bostik League Premier side Worthing.

Worthing`s managing Director Calvin Buckland told his club`s website: “We didn’t want Lloyd to leave, we made that clear to him.

“We all believe he’s capable of playing higher than National League South and felt if he continued to do well here he’d get the move he deserved, however he was adamant he wanted to go now.”

He’ll become the third player to leave for Priory Lane since the end of last season, joining former team-mates Will Hendon and Kane Wills, as well as former Worthing manager Jon Meeney, who is now part of the The Sports’ backroom staff.

Dawes, who was in his third spell at Woodside Rood having re-joined in August 2016 following a brief period at Lewes, went on to end last season as Worthing’s top goalscorer – a feat he achieved for the second consecutive season.

He leaves having amassed a total of 80 goals in 163 appearances.
