New trio are hoping to make Borough impact

His inexperienced squad suffered a 7-2 drubbing at Dorchester Town on Monday night.

The recently-appointed manager was only able to take 12 players to the Avenue Stadium, but has managed to bolster his squad ahead of tomorrow’s game in south Wales.

Catlin has brought in attacker Dale Mason from AFC Portchester, Jack Breed from the academy and former Bournemouth trainee Ethan Millar.

Although the club remains under a transfer embargo, the Borough boss has managed to deregister some players to boost his squad.

‘It is not easy to deregister and register players because there is a 14-day rule,’ said Catlin.

‘Everything is geared for a Tuesday ahead of the games at the weekend.

‘It meant Monday’s match was a game too far for us – we found ourselves in an impossible situation.

‘Since then I have been able to get some players off the books.

‘It gives me a chance to bring some of the young lads through.

‘That has to be the way forward for us at the moment.

‘Admittedly, the Southern League is a harsh environment where the physicality – more than anything – is the biggest challenge.
