Burgess Hill have have secured the future of four of their brightest young prospects.

Dan Perry, Will Miles and Lee Harding have signed extended contracts until the end of the 2015-16 campaign.

Midfielder Dan Pearse has penned a contract which keeps him at the Green Elephants Stadium until at least the end of next season.

Another Burgess Hill youngster, Greg Luer, joined Premier League Hull City during the January transfer window.

Chairman Kevin Newell said: “We have been delighted with the way our young players have made the grade at first team level after coming up through our youth system. The lads all played a part in winning the Ryman U18 Champion of Champions Trophy last year.

“Although we were always confident that they had the ability to play at Ryman League level, the way they have made their way so swiftly to be regular members of our first team squad and played so well is a great credit to them.

“I am very pleased they have committed themselves to the club, although we are of course always willing to help them progress their careers should the opportunity arise, much as we did with Greg Luer.

“Their progress reflects well on the U18 set up at the club, for which both Ashley Carr and Tony Tregear who both deserve great credit, and which is now being continued under Paul Armstrong to such good effect”.

“We are also looking to produce the players of the future through the Youth Development Squad which is being so successfully organized by Paul Dollner. All in all, I hope our supporters can see that the future is indeed looking bright for us”.

Pearse has impressed since joining from Farnborough, having started in the AFC Wimbledon academy.
