Defender Duah is latest Eastbourne Borough FC recruit
A promising youngster from Bexhill College is Eastbourne Borough’s newest recruit.
Defender Delwin Duah, 19, is a promising talent who has emerged from the club’s successful partnership with the college.
Duah has been a standout performer at Bexhill and joins Borough as the latest testament to the fruitful collaboration between club and college.
Alan Williams, CEO of Eastbourne Borough, said: “I am very happy about the relationship we have with Bexhill College as it is providing an amazing pathway through to our senior team.
"We look forward to the future players that will come through and I’m very excited about doing the same with the women’s team this year.”
Duah said of joining Borough: “It feels unreal to be fair. Really good, I’m just looking forward to it.
“Seeing what they have planned for the future made me want to be a part of it. With the facilities they have, the club can really help me set up to play on.”
Transitioning from part-time football at Eastbourne Town and the academic system to Borough will present new challenges.
Duah said: “I feel like it will be hard physically, but I’m ready for the challenge.”
He said he wanted to improve significantly as a player, make a statement on the field and secure as much playing time as possible.
The youngster is eager to connect with the supporters and make a positive impact. “I hope you like my style of play and I just can’t wait to get started,” he added.
