He has made one appearance for them this season before a loan spell with Walton & Hersham.

Overton was Hampton’s young player of the year last season.

Chapman revealed; “With us picking up a few injuries of late it was important to add a couple of players to the squad, both are keen and willing to work hard and both will be getting a chance over the remaining games.”

Toby Pointing will be out for the rest of the season after his injury last week.
