Claude on the move

Claude Seanla is set to make his Horsham farewell in Saturday’s Ryman League Premier Division match at Harrow Borough, having agreed to join Boreham Wood for the remainder of the season. The popular striker has averaged a goal every 3 games for the Hornets but the rigours of travelling from his Milton Keynes home, as well as the offer of improved terms with the Hertfordshire club, was too much to resist for the Ivorian who will make the switch early next week. John Maggs’ disappointment at losing another key member of his squad was obvious but he had nothing but praise for his outgoing player. “Claude has been one of my most loyal players. He has been really good for us and is a smashing lad, a real gentleman. He has had to put up with a lot of travelling and hardly missed a training session but I can fully understand his reasons for going and I wish him every success at Boreham Wood.” Meanwhile, Maggs revealed that Ben Andrews and Pat Harding have pledged their immediate futures to the club, despite interest from a number of Ryman League Clubs. “It doesn’t surprise me that other clubs are strengthening their squads for the run-in,” he continued, “and it doesn’t surprise me that they’re coming in for my players. Ben and Pat are big players for us so I’m absolutely delighted that they have decided to stay with us.”
