Scott Porter puts promising Hythe Town youngsters on contracts

Scott Porter has moved to safeguard the on-field future of
the club by securing a trio of players on contract.
The Hythe manager (pictured) has handed Nick Barnes, Taser
Hassan and Nick Reeves deals until the end of next season.
They are the first players to sign contracts with the Ryman
League Division 1 South side.
It’s a move that Porter feels is key to maintaining a strong
foundation.
He said: "We can’t keep rebuilding every year. You want to keep
your best young players.
"Other clubs could be sniffing around and it’s important we keep
hold of them. If we put people on contract it means that if anyone
wants them then they’ll have to pay money for them instead of just
coming in and nicking them off us.
"It’s an important thing to do as we become more professional
and it’s part of going forward as a club."
Porter’s side did not play at the weekend, with their trip to
Walton & Hersham falling victim to the weather. The freezing
temperatures could also claim this Saturday’s home match against
Sittingbourne.
