Brighton Buccaneers have snapped up two Great Britain internationals to boost their roster for the run-in to the Rawlings National League season.

Pitcher Gary Tongue and shortstop Darren Heath have both joined the reigning national champions following the completion of the European Championships in Holland.

The signings take the Bucs' tally to seven current British internationals.

Alex Malihoudis, Michael Close and David Donaldson are back in action in a double-header away to Croydon Pirates on Sunday after returning from the Championships.

Nick Carter is rested after his exertions in Holland, which means Tongue will start on the mound, while Ryan Stewart is a doubt after dislocating a thumb on GB duty.

Stewart though hopes to play at Croydon as fellow catcher Will Lintern is out with a damaged elbow.
