WHITCHURCH United have announced the signing of Winchester City man Chris Manning.

The midfielder made the move to Longmeadow this week ahead of their crucial game against league leaders Moneyfields, who sit just one point ahead of Whitchurch in the Wessex Premier.

Manager Carl Bennett said: “I’m delighted to bring Chris to the club as he’s a massive addition. He is as fit as a fiddle, he works extremely hard and he’s got great vision about him.”

Talking about potential new signings he added: “I would like bring one more player in just to complete my midfield set-up, but I’m really happy with what I’ve got at the moment.”
