Long-serving midfielder Tuck, who notched up his 300th appearance last season, came on as sub to notch the winner as Bognor lifted the Sussex Senior Cup with a 2-1 AET victory over Burgess Hill Town at Brighton's Amex Stadium.

Now he has committed to pen a new deal giving boss Jack Pearce and first team coach Robbie Blake more good news on the signings front. James Crane has already switched back to the Rocks from Worthing and Ashton Leigh has made the permanent switch from Baffins Milton Rovers.

We know all about Stuart from his time with us before and we should be able to confirm this news sooner rather than later."
