Lewes are exploring their loan options after parting company with five players in a fortnight.

Striker Charlie Penny and goalkeeper Denzil Gerrar were recalled early from their loan spells by Millwall.

Reece Hall and Omarie Keita were released late last week and now Josh Jirbandey has joined former club Hastings.

The Rooks do not expect to add any new faces before today’s match at home to Hendon but the management team of Garry Wilson and Danny Bloor are assessing potential recruits from the fringes of professional sides.

Bloor said: “We might bring a couple of players in on loan, particularly after the two boys went back to Millwall. “We have had approaches from clubs wanting us to take their players on loan and we will see what happens.”

Left-back Sam Gore misses today’s game as he serves a one-match.
