Crellin turns down Whitehawk

Hastings United midfielder Jamie Crellin has turned down a move to Whitehawk.

The Hawks, who like Hastings play in the Ryman Football League Premier Division, came sniffing around a couple of weeks ago - just three games into the new campaign.

“Obviously they would have offered a lot more money than we can but we managed to persuade him to stay and we’re delighted.”
