Under-18s

Stuttle joins Wimborne Town on loan

Jonny Stuttle has joined Wimborne Town on a work experience loan.

The striker, who has featured for both the under-18s and development squad this season, arrives at New Cuthbury with the Magpies top of Southern League Division One South.

Tim Sills’s side have picked up 63 points from 29 league games, putting them four points ahead of second-placed Frome Town having played one more fixture.

Weymouth-born Stuttle has been with the Cherries since the age of 11, having progressed through the club’s youth ranks.

He scored a memorable hat-trick for the under-18s at Newcastle United in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup back in January.

The frontman has also netted five times for the development squad this campaign.

Elsewhere, defender Harry Redknapp has joined Christchurch FC on a work experience loan.

He could be involved when the Hurn Bridge side take on Sherborne Town in Wessex Premier this evening.
