Portsmouth defender poised to join Bognor
Joe Hancott is poised to join Bognor.
The Pompey defender will move to Nyewood Camp on loan, according to our sister title the Bognor Observer.
Hancott penned third-year scholarship terms with the Blues earlier this summer following his two-year apprenticeship with the academy.
The left-back became the youngster player in Fratton Park post-war history when he made his debut against Fulham under-21s in the EFL Trophy in August 2017.
