Harrow Borough manager Steve Baker believes new goalkeeper Brendan Hazlett can make an impression after joining the club.

The Reds have been searching for a new shot stopper and brought in Hazlett from Beaconsfield SYCOB last week.

The keeper made his first appearance for the club in Saturday’s 3-2 friendly win over Beaconsfield and Baker holds high hopes for him.

The Boro boss said: “He has come in and looked very sharp in training. He did well on Saturday even though it was only a friendly and it is a good opportunity for him.”

Boro were due to face Staines last weekend but it was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch and the club arranged the friendly at the last minute.

Goals from Marc Charles-Smith, Kane Jones and Spencer McCall fired them to victory on the 3G pitch at Hayes & Yeading United.

Baker is optimistic their Ryman Premier Division game at fifth-placed Leiston will go ahead this Saturday.

He said: “It’s a very tough place to go to and not many teams pick up a positive result there.

“But we will go there and hopefully get something from the game. It’s massively important for us because over the last six to eight weeks we have been very inconsistent.”
