Lewes boss Steven King believes striker Marc Whiteman is good enough to play at a higher level.

Whiteman (pictured) made two goals for Lee Newman and scored the other in a 3-2 win at Ashford Town (Middlesex).

The Rooks were 3-0 up with nine minutes to go before Adam Foulser and Richard Butler set up a frantic finale with two late goals.

Victory keeps Lewes three points behind leaders Windsor and Eton and King is confident his side can keep up their title bid as long as Whiteman stays fit.

King said: "He is so explosive and was just going past people like they weren't even there.

"He did so well for Lee's goals that a granny could have scored them. Of course Lee had to be in the right place at the right time, but Marc's play was excellent.

"He is just too good for teams in this division and he is a big player for us. He has had some injuries but when he is fit he is quality."
