BASINGSTOKE Town manager Terry Brown has announced his first three signings for next season, the Dragons first campaign in the Southern League Premier Division.

They are a trio of Basingstoke Town academy players George Bennett, George Hallahan and Aaron Jarvis.

The boss is also in talks with a number of players including some of last season's Town squad and is hopeful he is close to making his first senior signings for his new look team.

Brown said: “I am looking at the experienced players in the squad, to be role models for the younger players as well as being able to play at this level.

"I am also looking to get a goalie on loan from pro club.”

The town manager watched another trial game yesterday, as he casts his eye over as many young players as possible.
