Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South club Gosport Borough have announced the re-signing of three more players from last season's squad.

Club stalwart Rory Williams has agreed to stay for the 2023/24 season.

The experienced 35-year-old left back re-joined Gosport in July 2019, having initially joined Dorking Wanderers in June 2019 from then-Vanarama National League South rivals Havant & Waterlooville.

He spent three seasons at Westleigh Park, having previously played for Gosport and Hamble Club.

He played 144 games for the Hawks, scoring 13 goals, and was named National League South player of the month in February 2018.

Williams follows Harry Kavanagh and Brad Tarbuck, who have also agreed to commit for the 2023/24 campaign.

Kavanagh, 21, signed for Boro ahead of the 2021/22 season.

Waterlooville-based, he played for Boro on loan from League One side Portsmouth in 2020/21 and joined on a more permanent basis following his release by Pompey in the summer of 2021.

The right-back made 7 appearances, including 5 league matches, in a season which was ended in November.

As well as Gosport, Kavanagh also spent time on loan with Isthmian League Premier Division outfit Bognor Regis Town, for whom he played 9 times.

He made his Pompey debut in an EFL Trophy tie against West Ham United`s under-21s in November 2020 and a second, also in the EFL Trophy, in January 2021 at Peterborough United.

Originally a winger, Tarbuck, 27, was converted to a wing-back by Vanarama National League South side Havant & Waterlooville and excelled in his new position.

His pace and energy combined with the fact he can cross mean he is a constant attacking threat whilst the defensive part of his game continues to develop.

He picked up two title-winning medals in his two seasons with Havant, who he joined in 2016 after an excellent season at Dorchester Town in the Southern Premier whom he joined from boyhood club Portsmouth.

He returned to the Southern Premier South with Gosport in July 2020.
