Scutt has been at Fratton Park since he was nine and played against Man City’s youth side in the FA Youth Cup last season.

Bognor have dual-signed Pagham keeper James Binfield as goalkeeping cover for the final month of the league campaign, which sees the Rocks going toe to toe with Havant in a bid for the Ryman premier title and the only automatic promotion spot.

The trio have essentially joined as cover and will not feature at Enfield this weekend.

A Rocks spokesman said: “We very much welcome all of them to the club.”
