Sutton Utd midfielder Jack Wadham has joined Worthing ahead of the new National League season, where the Rebels will face Carlisle United in their opening fixture. The 24-year-old is one of 11 summer signings for Worthing, who are preparing for their first campaign in the National League after winning the National League South last season. Next fixture: vs Tamworth (at home, 2027-02-16) (18th in the table).
Worthing completed an unbeaten pre-season, winning four and drawing three of their seven friendlies. Standout performances included a 3-0 win over Horsham and a 2-1 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion’s Under-21s. Dom Hutchinson, a summer signing from Wealdstone, was the top scorer with four goals in pre-season.
Alongside Wadham, Worthing have brought in midfielder Jack Wadham from Sutton Utd, Noor Husin from Southend United, and Ashley Nathaniel-George from York City. They’ve also secured loans for young talents like Southampton’s Jayden Moore and QPR’s Corey Adjetey-Brew. Manager Adam Hinshelwood has retained key players from last season’s title-winning squad, including George Cox and Harry Ransom.
Wadham’s departure leaves a gap in Sutton Utd’s midfield as they prepare for their own National League campaign. The U’s will need to find a replacement quickly, with their next fixture against Tamworth on 2027-02-16. Worthing’s strong pre-season form suggests they could be a tough opponent for Carlisle and a potential dark horse in the league.
Worthing will kick off their National League campaign against Carlisle United on Saturday. Manager Adam Hinshelwood is confident but acknowledges room for improvement after a solid pre-season. The Rebels will be looking to make an immediate impact in their debut season at this level.
