One in, one out at the Avenue

by Rob Hodder


Dorchester Town centre back Nathaniel Peprah Annan has had his contract cancelled by mutual consent and has left the club.

The former Tottenham Academy star and England Under 16 International has struggled to adapt to life on the South Coast and has been suffering with personal problems which have affected his training and form in general recently.

Speaking earlier today Director of Football Shaun Brooks said: "It's a shame that things have not worked out for Nathan as he is a very good defender and has a lot to offer.

"The lad has had some personal problems though and is also a bit home-sick, so a move back to London was in the best interest for both him and the club. I am hopeful that he will be fixed up with a London based club fairly soon."

Joining the Magpies on loan is Brighton & Hove Albion left-sided defender Sonny Cobbs. Brooks watched the 19-year-old in action during Albion's reserve match away at Millwall on Wednesday and agreed terms to bring the highly rated youngster to The Avenue Stadium.

Cobbs has played regularly for the Seagulls reserve side and is primarily an attacking full-back but is also comfortable in the centre of defence and has already enjoyed a very successful three month loan spell at Ryman League Worthing this season.

Brooks added: "Sonny is a good size and a feisty defender. He is highly thought of by Dean Wilkins at Brighton, who is confident he will have a big impact on us."

The Brighton & Hove Albion first team squad will be training at Dorchester's Avenue Stadium on Friday 30th November in preparation for their FA Cup tie on the saturday at Torquay United. The session will be begin at 1.30pm and is open to the public.
