U`s Extend Duo`s Contracts

Manager Paul Doswell was delighted to see both players sign extended deals: "Craig Eastmond (pictured) has made a huge difference since his arrival and you can see he's really enjoying his football again.

“In a short period of time he has fitted into the club really well and feels he can progress with Sutton United. Special praise is also due to Jamie Lawrence, who recommended Craig to me and has spent months with him getting him physically and mentally ready to play National League South football.

“It's never easy when you leave a club such as Arsenal and I've seen many young players not be able to cope with the disappointment of being released, but with Jamie's guidance Craig can achieve his football ambitions.

"Tom has also shown in the last two months a desire and ambition to progress and his new deal reflects this. He is another hugely popular player in the dressing room and sees Sutton United as a club who can help him push on with his career."

"I believe Craig, Tom and Dan Wishart, with continued hard work and desire, all have the ability to play League football and it would be fantastic if they can achieve this whilst with us."
