Kuhl To Continue At The Boro…
Since making the loan move to National League South side Farnborough, Aaron has been a consistent and key performer for the Hampshire outfit, featuring in virtually every game since his arrival in mid-October. Picking up various ‘Team of The Week’ and ‘Man Of The Match’ accolades through his 14 appearances so far, Aaron has also weighed in with crucial goals in recent weeks, netting his first for The Boro in the FA Trophy 2nd Round defeat of former side Slough Town, before scoring in back-to-back games as Spencer Day’s side drew at home to Bath City 2-2 and edged out Aveley 3-4 in a thriller at Parkside. The midfielder scored the match-winning goal in Farnborough’s final home game of 2023, a 1-0 win over Braintree Town on December 23rd, the day after which it was confirmed that Aaron’s loan spell would be extended from January through to the end of the 23/24 campaign.
Cook & Rutherford Join The Terras…
The past month has seen both Joe Cook and Alfie Rutherford join National League South side Weymouth on short term deals as the duo look to build match minutes and fitness. Despite his debut ending with a 0-2 loss to Hendon in the FA Trophy 3rd Round, Joe has started all four games since joining on December 8th, whilst Alfie has featured from the start for the last two matches after arriving at The Bob Lucas Stadium on December 18th. After spending a month at former club Bognor Regis Town earlier in the season, where he found the net memorably on his debut, Alfie’s second loan spell of the campaign began with a 1-1 draw against Dover Athletic before featuring in The Terras last fixture of the calendar year, a 2-3 victory over Weston-super-Mare on Boxing Day.

Consistently named in The Swans matchday squads throughout the campaign so far and making several starts along the way, Ollie will continue to be part of the club’s bid to reach the play-off’s with Walton currently residing in 8th place and 4 points off the final spot but with a couple of games in hand.

Following a season-long stint with The Rocks last term and after spending the month of September on loan at The Nye Camp earlier this term, Joe signed on for a third spell at the beginning of November, and has started each game since. Currently sat in the middle of the Isthmian Premier Division table in 12th spot, Bognor are unbeaten in their last six league matches, the recent good run of form including a 2-0 win over West Sussex rivals Horsham on Boxing Day.
