Another player to come along for training is Kevin Gill. The 19 year old could feature in the midweek Reserve clash at Millwall. The player was once in the AFCB School of excellence and has been with Swanage Town & Herston, Wimborne Town and (this season has 17 goals at) Lymington & New Milton. However, it is unlikely that he would join, as there is currently an embargo that could remain until the end of the season according to Chairman Peter Phillips.
