He has recruited the highly-rated central defender Craig Richards from Ryman Division One South champions Whitehawk.

The Brighton club have been signing players with Football League and Scottish Premier League experience, leaving some of those who won them promotion last season surplus to requirements.

Richards has made more than 130 appearances in the Football League.

Maggs has also signed former Crawley Town midfielder Steve Sergent, who played for him when he managed Horsham.

Maggs said: “We have worked hard over the summer as we look for an improvement.

“We have got the majority of last year’s squad.

“I am trying to make sure we are OK when we kick-off for the first league game.

“We should be a force this year - we don’t want a repeat of last year and we should be OK if we come out of the traps flying, which is what we are planning.

“Craig and Steve are both excellent players - perfect for us as we look to rise up the table.”
