Eastbourne Borough announce Wolves move for Fletcher Holman

Wolves have signed Eastbourne Borough striker Fletcher Holman.

The 19-year-old has five goals in 17 games in the National League South this term.

Eastbourne Borough announced:

"Eastbourne Borough are delighted to announce that the club have reached an agreement with Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers for the transfer of Fletcher Holman.

"The deal is subject to Fletcher completing a medical with the Molineux outfit, as well as the usual approvals from the Premier League and Football Association.

"The exciting move for the young forward will see him join a small list of players to have left a non-league team to join a top flight side, with players such as Dan Burn, Solly March and fellow Wolves player Max Kilman previously making the jump up.

"Fletcher has been in great form for the Sports this season, with ten goals in just 15 appearances over all competitions.

"When Simon Leslie arrived at Priory Lane, he committed to help players develop and get them playing at higher levels. To achieve this within four months of the takeover is a dream come true for both Simon and Fletcher.

"The teenager made the step up to first team football this season at Priory Lane having graduated from our Under 18 side last term."
