Burgess Hill Town FC are thrilled to announce that we have secured the permanent transfer of fan favourite George Vorster from Slough Town. George lit up the Medical Travel Compared Stadium last season whilst on loan from Sutton United, making 40 appearances and scoring an impressive 17 goals. His outstanding performances at the MTC saw him deservedly pick up the Players’ Player, Supporters’ Player and Young Player of the Year awards at the club’s end-of-season presentation evening back in May. After departing in the summer to join National League South side Slough Town, George returned to Leylands Park on loan from the Rebels in August. Since then, he has made a further 17 appearances, scoring three goals against Whitehawk, Maldon & Tiptree and Welling United. A quick and tricky winger who is always looking to beat his man and get in behind, George brings pace, creativity and a real eye for goal. He previously spent time on loan at Isthmian South Central side Ashford Town during the 2024/25 season, where he was named Young Player of the Year. Securing George's signature on a permanent basis is fantastic news for everyone connected with the club and represents another hugely positive step forward for the Hillians. Big thank you to Slough Town for their help in sorting the transfer. We're incredibly proud to have George continuing his journey with us, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds! He's one of our own now. He's a Hillian. He's here to stay! 💚🖤 #COYH

💚🖤 THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER… BOX IS COMING BACK! ⚽🙌 After a year on the sidelines through injury, we're delighted to announce that local lad and fan favourite Martyn Box is back with the squad💪 It's been a long road to recovery for Boxy, but his hard work and determination have paid off, and we're thrilled to see him back where he belongs! Martyn is expected to make his long-awaited return to the matchday squad very soon! Boxy had this to say about his imminent return - “It’s difficult to put into words what this moment means to me. The last few months have been some of the toughest of my life, both physically and mentally, and there have been plenty of challenging days along the way. I’m incredibly grateful to the club, my PTs and everyone at The Nuffield for their support and patience throughout, but most importantly to my close friends and family who have been there for me every single day and helped me get to this point. I’m just so happy to be back out there with the boys and looking forward to helping the team and club have an exciting rest of the season” We can't wait to see you back out there, Boxy! 💚 💚🖤 #COYH
