Jordan Rose and Sam Steel have completed their moves to the Citizens and are available for selection for the opening game of the season at home to newcomers Walton & Hersham.

Rose is a vastly experienced, much-travelled 33-year-old who joins Winchester following a short spell with Sholing, where he moved to in March 2023 after arriving from Wimborne Town.

He had signed for the Magpies in June 2022 from Salisbury and had only been with the Whites after arriving from Farnborough in March 2022.

He had signed for Farnborough from Gosport Borough in the summer of 2021 having spent a year at Privett Park after joining from Blackfield & Langley, where he had been since early November 2019.

Originally with AFC Bournemouth, he went on to have spells with Weymouth, Bashley, Stockport County, Hereford United, Hayes & Yeading United, AFC Telford United, Tamworth, Whitehawk and Hemel Hempstead Town, joining Havant & Waterlooville during the 2016/17 season.

He enjoyed two loan spells back at Weymouth from the Hawks before making the move to the Terras a more permanent one after the Hawks turned full-time following their relegation from the National League.

In 2019/20, he failed to cement a spot in the Weymouth starting line-up and exited the Bob Lucas Stadium, going on to play for Vanarama National League South rivals Eastbourne Borough before sustaining a calf injury 30 minutes into his debut.

Steel numbers Wessex League sides US Portsmouth, Alresford Town and AFC Stoneham amongst his previous clubs and has earned a deal with the Citizens following impressive performances in pre-season.
