'Dream come true' - Duo sign first professional contracts at Eastleigh

EASTLEIGH have announced that Elite Development Squad duo Liam Webber and Nathan Rogers have signed their first professional contracts at the club.

The pair spent time training with the first-team during the latter stages of the 2023-24 campaign.

Webber joins the first-team after having spent several years with the club as he climbed through the scholarship programme with the Spitfires.

Upon signing his pro-deal, the defender said: “It’s a dream come true, really. Being at the club for the majority of my life, being where I’ve grown up in the place, and this being the club where I sign my first professional contract, it’s a dream come true.”

Midfielder Rogers pens his first pro deal having also completed the scholarship programme at Eastleigh.

After putting pen to paper, he said: “I’m buzzing. I’ve worked very hard for it. (I've) been here for three years now and I thank everyone that’s helped me through it. I’m buzzing.”
