Eastleigh FC are pleased to confirm that James Waite has signed permanently for the club following his departure from Weston-super-Mare until the end of the season.

Waite joined the Spitfires on loan in November and quickly established himself as an important member of the squad, featuring in every match he was eligible for since his arrival, starting four of the six games.

Speaking on the signing, Bartlett commented: “James has settled in really well and made a big impact with us. He goes about his work in a professional manner and I am pleased he is back in full-time football.”

Welcome to Eastleigh, James!
