King signs "New little Drury" and sharp-shooting Angel

Lewes boss King has signed former Luton Town player Stefan Cox.

King said tonight after watching the youngster, "He's very exciting.

"He can play on either wing. He's a kind of willo the wisp character.

"He's very tricky. He'll be like a litte Jukebox (Andy Drury).

King revealed he was considering signing Cox simply on loan - until he saw him in training - then decided to sign him on a permanent contract.

"He's got great potential," added the Rooks boss. "I didn't want him to go anywhere else."

Cox will go straight into the Lewes squad for the Hampton game on Saturday, along with Jean-Michel Sigere, who has been out all season with a serious knee injury.

King has also signed 31-year-old ex-QPR striker Hamid Barr, who left Tonbridge Angels by 'mutual consent'.

Barr scored 14 goals in 18 starts for Ryman premier division strugglers Tonbridge this season.

King said, "I've known him a long time and I've seen his history.

"He was at Fisher when they were winning all the leagues.

"He's someone who can make a difference to us. He's the kind of player we're looking for."

Despite this week's rain, the game at the Dripping Pan against Hampton & Richmond is currently still ON and no pitch inspection has yet been planned.

But fans are advised to call Lewes FC tomorrow between 10-30pm and midday to check the latest news.
