DEAL STRUCK WITH HAVANT AS JORDAN RE-UNITES WITH BAIRD


The Tom Jordan transfer saga has come to a welcome end for all Spitfires fans after an undiclosed fee was agreed between Eastleigh and local rivals Havant and Waterloville.

Dave Malone released the following statement on the clubs messageboard, which no doubt will be music to the ears of all involved with the club.

"We are delighted to confirm that Eastleigh Football Club has agreed terms with Havant & Waterlooville for the transfer of Tom Jordan. It has been decided between the clubs that the fee involved will remain undisclosed. Personal terms have been agreed with the player, and it is anticipated that the formalities will be completed early next week."

Eastleigh also secured the services of Braintree Town striker James Baker who becomes the third summer signing at the Silverlake Stadium ahead of the coming season. Malone continued:

"We can also confirm that we have signed on contract James Baker, an exciting young striker from Braintree Town. This now gives us three top class strikers, ahead of pre season training which commences on 1st July.

"We trust that supporters of EFC will recognise that these signings are a clear indication of our aspirations for a succesful season ahead."

The story was also confirmed in the Portsmouth News:
 
'I'm delighted it's been sorted out,' said Jordan.

'The last few months were difficult and I just wanted to play football.

'In hindsight, I think all three parties involved could have handled things differently.

'Apart from those last few months, though, I had a great time playing for the Hawks and the Anfield experience was the pinnacle of my career to date.

'I missed my football at the end of last season, but it has only served to give me a greater hunger for next season. I can't wait to get started again.'

Subs: Robinson (on for Blaxall 40), Bamba (on for Watt 50), Easton (on for White 70). By Jamie Montigue Match Photos - Here After just two minutes, Eastleigh Reserves found themselves a goal behind. A long ball forward from the visitors was met by a tidy finish with a fine lob over stranded Eastleigh goalkeeper Freddie Toomer and into the net. Ben White headed wide from an Aaron Blaxall left wing cross soon after, before Nick Watt fired narrowly over the cross bar with a good attempt from a free kick 20 yards out, to the left of goal. Tooting & Mitcham really should have been two goals to the good but were left ruing a squandered chance as an unmarked man at the far post headed wide with the goal at his mercy. In the 26th minute Ben White had the ball in
