Duncan Jupp

10.15am Thursday 2nd July 2009

Rocks defender Duncan Jupp will not play for us again.

The former professional player who has played for Wimbledon, Gillingham and Southend joined the Rocks midway through the 2007/08 season.

He has been a great favourite of the fans at Nyewood Lane and will be missed by all at the club.

Due to him being a full time sport s coach in Pulborough and the fact that he is just starting a sports science degree, he will not unfortunately be able to find the time to play for us .

Jupp hopes to maintain his links with the club and will try to attend training sessions. He will also try and get to as many games as he can.

The Rocks have signed goalkeeper Anthony Ender. Ender joined the Rocks in early February 2009.

He scored nine goals in 34 appearances and can play in various positions, including striker. Demetriou trialled at Leicester City last season, and said "I just want to play at the highest standard I can and this has been a major influence in my decision to move, which has been a really hard one to make.

On his own future at Bognor, where he will link up with Darin Killpartrick, his coach at Chichester College, Demetriou said: "We'll be aimming to get back into the Conference next season. Playing there would be a dream come true. I hope to play as high as I can but, if nothing else, the Conference would be great."
