Eastbourne Borough are excited to announce the signing of experienced midfielder Craig Eastmond.

The 34-year-old has also been appointed as Club Captain of the Sports by Matt Gray – who worked previously with Eastmond during his tenure at Sutton United.

The former Arsenal youngster joined Sutton in 2015/16, and would go on to amass almost 350 appearances for the Surrey outfit – captaining them to the National League title in 2020/21 as well as at Wembley in the Papa John’s Trophy Final.

After leaving Gander Green Lane at the end of 2023/24, he spent last season at Wealdstone before making the switch to the south coast to reunite with his former gaffer.

“I’m delighted for Craig to be my first signing,” said Borough boss Gray.

“He was my Captain at Sutton for four and a half years, and we shared some huge success and had some great times together.

“He’s a leader on and off the pitch, and a great person to have around for the dressing room as well as his experience on the pitch.

“I look forward to working with him again and hopefully create some more success stories with him as Captain.”

Welcome to The ReachTV Stadium, Craig!
