As reported by www.hastingsunited.com, Gary Elphick has committed to the club for the 2019/20 Bostik League South East Division campaign.

The experienced centre-half made nine appearances for Hastings at the back end of the 2018/19 season after joining the club in early March.

His eight games in the regular season produced six wins and two draws, and his presence helped shore up a defence which was conceding too many goals.

A club statement said: “The experienced leader of men Elphick became a very popular member of the group both on and off the pitch, and will no doubt once again have a big impact on next season’s campaign.”
