Isthmian League Horsham FC have signed former England and Young Hammer of the year Sam Howes.
The young goalkeeper played for the Three Lions at U19 level while on the books of West Ham, for whom he made made his senior bow during a trip to New Zealand in 2014.
But despite being named in the East Londoners’ first team squad for an FA Cup tie at Anfield in 2016, and voted ‘Young Hammer of the Year’ when just 16 years of age, he found himself surplus to requirements in 2017 and subsequently spent two years at Watford before making the switch to Woking.
Still just 23 years old, his talents have seen him in big demand on the non-league circuit with Wealdstone, Hampton & Richmond, Eastbourne Borough and Chelmsford City all stopping-off points on route to joining Dorking Wanderers for the 2020/21 season and helping them to top spot in the National League South before the season was cancelled.
