The Rocks have signed Louis Castles and Jordan Hughes on work experience forms from Pompey, and Kane Wills on loan from Brighton.

All three will be in the squad at Lewes.

Both Pompey players have been watched by Mick Jenkins and Andy Awford on a number of occasions, and both played for Pompey's academy side at Nyewood Lane last week against New Zealand.

Hughes, a left sided striker, is a Northern Ireland under 17 international.

Wills is an ever present for Brighton's reserve side this season and is described as an influential midfielder who proved last season that he can also score goals.

A win at lewes would lift team morale – and put another £2,500 in the club's almost-empty coffers.

Lewes, who like Bognor had to make budget cuts at the end of last season, are picking up after a poor start to the Conference season.

The Rocks held up their charge towards the Conference South title last season with a 1-0 win at the Dripping Pan in Feburary.

Boss Mick Jenkins said: "We had a good win against Worcester in the last round and will be taking this seriously.

"It will be a difficult game against a side from the league above, but if we can progress, it will give us a financial boost and get us in the winning habit."

Ex-Rocks Seb Wallis-Tayler and Chris Breach are both plying their trade at Lewes this season.
