Terry Graves is the man Kevin Keehan wants to be his No. 2 at Lewes.

Former Rooks striker Graves, who also played for Crawley, has been approached to become assistant manager at the Dripping Pan.

Graves, who is considering the offer, was No. 2 at Peacehaven when they were a force in Sussex football in the 1990s although he has been out of the game for a while.

He is the father of Horsham's Tom Graves who, together with team-mates Nigel Brake, Danny Davis and Matt Geard, have been linked with a summer switch to Lewes. Davis is a former Rooks player.

Keehan is playing his cards close to his chest about potential new signings. He does not want to name players until they have signed, although he has confirmed he has already spoken to a couple of the players released by Albion this week.

He said: "I will be talking to a lot of players in the next few weeks and I will also be talking to agents about players who have been released by their clubs.

"I have spoken to a couple released by Albion but it has got to be the right ones. I will talk to them again and see what they think.

"We need to find some experienced players and some of them have experience."

Keehan has spent the last week talking to the existing Lewes squad, most of whom are expected to leave.

Only four remain on contract for next season and two of them, Gary Holloway and Tom Davis, have been placed on the transfer list after making it clear they did not want to play for Lewes following the departure of former manager Steven King.

Davis cost Lewes £5,000 when they signed him from St Albans and the Rooks will be asking for a small fee for both players. The other two still on contract are Stefan Cox and top scorer Paul Booth, who Keehan is still trying to persuade to stay.

Skipper Steve Robinson, Andy Drury, Ian Simpemba and Jamie Cade are confirmed departures.
