Forward joins after scoring 79 goals in three seasons for Lindfield
Hassocks have completed the coveted signing of Mid Sussex League goal machine Ruari Farrell from Lindfield.
The striker has plundered 79 goals in 82 appearances over the past three campaigns for the Swans, helping them to finish runners up in the Premier Division in 2022-23 and reach the final of the Montgomery Cup last season.
Farrell has never finished outside of the top two in the race for the Golden Boot, marking himself out as one of the most deadly forwards in intermediate football.
Before joining Lindfield in 2021, Farrell played for Burgess Hill Albion between 2017 and 2021. He scored 88 times in only 54 matches as a youngster for the Ravens reserves, followed by 17 from 29 matches in the first team.
Hassocks have a good track record when it comes to bringing players into the Southern Combination from the Mid Sussex League and Farrell’s step up to senior football is well-deserved.
Harvey Blake joined the Robins from Sporting Lindfield in 2018 and tall striker Jamie Wilkes started out as a teenager with Lindfield.
The enigmatic Dan Jacques also returned to Hassocks for his second spell as a Robin from Lindfield in 2018. Few have delighted the Hassocks crowd as much as Jacques did over his 232 game Robins career.
Welcome to the Beacon, Ruari.
