March Town believe they have one of the best youngsters in the UCL Premier Division South following swoop for Downham Town playmaker

Joint March Town manager Ash Taylor believes the Hares have signed one of the best players in the league in Magic Smalls.

Smalls made his March debut in the 1-1 draw with Easington Sports on Saturday.

Taylor said: "Magic is an exceptional young talent and I’m delighted he’s agreed to join.

"He’s a player that can get you off the edge of your seat, brings excitement to the game and I know will be a fan’s favourite.

2We are delighted we were able to get him. We were looking for a creative player and he's just what we need.

"We look forward to working with Magic and helping him to keep developing. I don't want to put too much pressure on his shoulders, I just want him to go and express himself and enjoy the game."

On Saturday, Easington Sports took a first-half lead when a corner was headed home at the back post by Ricky Johnson but March hit back after the break with a Declan Rogers free-kick right into the top corner for his seventh of the season.

On Saturday, March will be looking to get back to winning ways when they travel to play bottom side Leicester Nirvana in the UCL Premier South
