Wormull said: “All four have played for the club at both U18s and U23s level for the club.

“They were all involved last season and I want all of them to be a part of my plans going forward.

“It is vital for our club to bring our own players through."

Harding has amassed a colossal 383 appearances for the club (scoring 119 goals).

Wormull said, “Obviously I knew Pat before I came to the club. Over the past six months I’ve learned that he is not only an exceptional Non-League footballer who can play in a number of positions, but also the vital role he plays in the dressing room to.”

Wormull has also added two new signings to the squad. Former Haywards Heath man Max Miller and Jamie Brotherton have joined the squad.

Miller was a product of Burgess Hill Town’s U18s and re-joins the Hillians following his departure in 2012.

Jamie joins the Hillians having previously played at Peacehaven, Three Bridges and Lewes.
