Shaun Saunders has further added to his Whitehawk squad with the addition of experienced centre-half Nathan Cooper.

Cooper, a dominating presence in the defence, spent last season at Haywards Heath Town, featuring numerous times whilst also finding the net on three occasions.

A key component for The Blues during the 2010s, he made more than 200 appearances whilst scoring a commendable thirty goals during that span.

The defender made the switch to Burgess Hill Town during the 2020/21 campaign but, having been cut short as a result of the pandemic, only featured eleven times.

Cooper becomes the seventh fresh face to move to The Enclosed Ground, and the eighth addition in total after Ashley Wadhams re-joined on Monday.
