Worthing FC have updated their list of pre-season friendlies after confirming they will send a side to play Brighton’s U21s at the Seagulls’ Elite Performance Centre on Friday, July 5.

That game will be behind closed doors and it’s the fourth summer in a row the sides will have met in pre-season. The Rebels comfortably won last year’s encounter, as they kicked off pre-season with a 4-0 win.

It’s a sixth fixture for Worthing’s 2024-25 preparations as new boss Chris Agutter heads into his first season in charge.
