Scrimshaw loaned to Eastleigh

Under-21s striker Jake Scrimshaw has completed a loan move to Eastleigh.

He will link up with the Spitfires until the end of the season, with Ben Strevens' side currently sat 16th in the National League. 

The 19-year-old has previous experience of going out on loan, netting on 17 occasions during a fruitful loan spell with Southern League South outfit Poole Town last year. Six of those came on his debut in a 7-1 win over Portland United. 

Scrimshaw also played his part for the under-18s in 2018/19, scoring 31 goals across the season and helping Alan Connell's side reach the FA Youth Cup quarter-finals for just the second time in the club's history. 

He will now play the second half of this campaign at the Silverlake Stadium, with Eastleigh's next game at home to Chesterfield this coming Saturday.
