And Rocks coach Robbie Blake wants Lethbridge, who’s currently nursing a thigh injury, back at Nyewood Lane.
He told bognor.co.uk: ‘We’re very hopeful. We would like the player and I think the player wants to come.
‘He’s tweaked his thigh so he’s probably ten days to two weeks away. That’s disappointing for him because anyone who misses pre-season it knocks them back further because of the fitness they lose.
‘We’d love to have Brad but everything’s got to be right for everyone.’
Pompey travel to Bognor tonight for a pre-season friendly (7.45pm).
