Hastings manager Chris Agutter was optimistic of bringing in the right winger he spoke about last week in time for the trip to Guernsey on Sunday.

Speaking yesterday (Wednesday), Agutter said: “I’m pretty sure we would’ve got the right winger that we’ve been after done. We’ve all agreed and he needs to go through the formalities.”

Agutter said: “He played very well. Against one of the perceived top teams in the league, he had the full-back on toast.”

The manager said last week that if two wide players joined the club, at least two would depart.

“Players going out is something we’ve been looking at over the past two weeks,” he continued. “We’ve not made the final decision yet.

“We don’t want to rock the boat too much, but we don’t want anyone getting comfortable and thinking they’ve arrived.”
