Wheeler departs, loan arrangements

A busy day at the Silverlake Stadium sees former Weymouth winger Darren Wheeler move on from Eastleigh in a switch to Mangotsfield United.

Darren joined Eastleigh in June 2006 and made 30 starts and 15 appearances as a sub scoring three goals in his first season. Two of which came in the opening month of the 2006/7 campaign. The arrival of Damian Scannell and Ellis Green ahead of the new campaign - both of whom have set the club alight; saw Darren slip down the pecking order. We'd like to wish him all the best for the future.

Meanwhile, Justin Bennett who spent a year on the sidelines during the 2006/7 season following his transfer from Andover, has joined Gosport Borough on loan along with defender Andy Puckett.

Phil Cousins will also be seeking first team football in order to gain more experience and to benefit the midfielder in the long run as he joins Farnborough - again a loan move.

Darren Wheeler

Eastleigh Football Club confirm that we have today (Friday) agreed to the transfer of Darren Wheeler to Mangotsfield United - who play in the British Gas Southern League. An undisclosed fee has been agreed between the two Clubs, and we would wish to thank Darren for his contribution to the Club over the past year, and wish him well for the future.

Players On Loan


The Club can confirm that we have agreed in principle to the following loan arrangements:

Justin Bennett & Andy Puckett - Gosport Borough. Phil Cousins - Farnborough FC

We believe that the experience gained playing 1st team football at Southern League level will benefit all of these players, and in turn enable them all to return to Eastleigh better equipped for the rigours of our own League. At the same time, this will afford us an opportunity to further develop a fine crop of younger players that will form the basis of our Reserve side.
