Bigg, who lives in Bromley and hasn't been playing competitively this season, joined after casting his eye over Len Watkins' improving Sussex Division Three side.

A delighted Watkins said: "He is a very good midfield player. He's strong in possession, good in the tackle and very good all round."

Bigg will go straight into the squad for the hastily-arranged trip to bottom club Bosham on Saturday January 18.

The teams last met a couple of months ago when Bexhill won 13-0, although Watkins expects a much tougher match this time round. "It will be a completely different test," he said.

United's second team face an important home game against high-flying Heathfield United as they bid to turn around their East Sussex Premier fortunes.
