NUMBER two Robbie Blake says bringing back experienced Craig Robson has given his Bognor Regis Town side “a massive lift”.

His signing will be seen as another massive statement of intent by the Rocks following the arrival of Canadian left-back Gavin McCallum, 33 from National League South side Dartford last month.

“Craig has steel, grit and determination and is a fantastic signing for us,” said Blake, number two to Rocks boss and new National League chairman Jack Pearce.

“He has bags of quality and being able to sign a player with his ability and experience gives us a big lift.

“I think that it shows we are determined to have a successful season. The fact that we have him in our ranks brings us a great chance of succeeding.”

The Rocks, meanwhile, have announced they will host Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s League One Burton Albion in a pre-season friendly next Saturday.
