Bromley winger/striker Reeco-Hackett-Fairchild has joined League One Portsmouth FC for a club record transfer fee believed to be in the region of £100,000.

In recent times the production line of talent to go into the Football League has seen a number of players move up including Sam Wood (Brentford), Harrison Dunk (Cambridge Utd), Ryan Hall (Southend), Moses Swaibu (Lincoln), Josh Rees (Gillingham) and Louis Dennis (Portsmouth).
