Eastbourne Borough have signed 18-year-old fullback Matt Piper from Brighton and Hove Albion until the end of the season.

Piper is in his second year as a trainee at the Albion.

Captain Daren Pearce's suspension has given Borough manager Garry Wilson a selection headache for tomorrow's visit of Weston-super-Mare.

Jay Richardson, Stuart Myall and Andy Ducille are all in the frame to step in as the central midfielder sits out the first of a two-game ban.
