On looking to bring in new faces, Worthing boss Hinshelwood said: “We’re hopeful we can extend Zack’s loan. I’ll have a chat with Pete (Stone; chairman) and George (Dowell; owner) about that as it’s an important month for us.

“We need a bit more help. Will Miles has got a knock and we’re already playing a left-back and central midfield player as centre-halves so it’s tough.

“We might have to look at a centre-half possibly, depending on how Will is. But it is what it is, I’m not going to moan. This is why we’ve got the squad we have.”
