Danny Chapman has signed promising Southend United youngster Zak Pianim on loan from the League One club. Pianim is part of the Shrimpers' Under 18's squad and can play in defence or midfield.

The Hawks have also been boosted by the news that Nigel Neita, who has been out of action for several weeks, is now pain-free and will be in contention to return to the match-day squad.

Tommie Fagg, who hasn't played since the end of September after a double wrist operation, has now had the casts removed and will also be available for selection for the squad.

In less positive news, Harlow Town's injury-hit season continues with the news of two injury blows to the midfield. Sam Clarke suffered a broken elbow in the defeat to Billericay Town, and is awaiting a scan to assess the full extent of the damage.

Syrus Gordon, who has been wearing the captain's armband, has pulled a hamstring and will be out for a minimum of 3-4 weeks.

The Hawks travel to Hampton & Richmond Borough in the Buildbase FA Trophy 3rd Round Qualifying on Saturday 25th November. Kick off is at 3pm.
