Newport County striker joins Bognor Regis Town
Newport County striker Jake Scrimshaw has joined Bognor Regis Town on a transfer deal, boosting the team's firepower ahead of the Isthmian South Central division campaign. Scrimshaw, 25, had a spell in the youth ranks at AFC Bournemouth before playing for the likes of Eastleigh, AFC Totton, Poole, and Gosport Borough.
Why it matters for Newport County
Newport County's loss is Bognor Regis Town's gain as Scrimshaw joins the Isthmian South Central division side. Scrimshaw's experience playing for Football League clubs such as Walsall, Newport County, and Scunthorpe United will undoubtedly enhance the Bognor vanguard.
What comes next?
Scrimshaw is expected to make his debut for Bognor Regis Town in their final pre-season friendly match against Chichester City on Saturday. The match will kick off at 1 pm, and fans may see Scrimshaw in action alongside new defender Ben Sheaf.
