Following injuries to new loan strikers over the past two months, Manager Spencer Day has moved quickly to bring in a new face to the Farnborough frontline.

Hard-working striker Jonny Stuttle has cut his loan spell short with National League Aldershot Town and will now spend the remainder of the 2024/25 season at the Saunders Transport Community Stadium.

Jonny has been on the books at Vitality Stadium since he was 11, earning his first professional contract at the Club and netted a memorable hat-trick at St James’ Park in the FA Youth Cup against Newcastle United along the way.

He contributed four goals and three assists in 13 appearances for The Cherries’ Development Squad in 2023/24 and is currently top scorer for Alan Connell’s team in Professional Development League South this season.

Stuttle has spent the previous eight weeks on loan at The Shots, scoring twice in an FA Trophy win, along with a number of influential appearances including starting in a 3-1 away victory over high-flying Oldham Athletic.

This is the athletic striker’s third loan spell, having helped guide Wimborne Town to The Southern League Division One South title last season under Tim Sills.

A delighted Boro boss Spencer Day commented: “It’s a massive boost to get Jonny for everyone.

“I’ve been chasing him for sometime and I’m delighted to get him when we need him most.

“An old school 9, top scorer in Bournemouth’s U21 and some experience in the National League.

“Much thanks to Matt at Bournemouth and his agent Neale for getting the deal done.

“Can I please beg our fans to avoid stepping under any ladders, avoid any black cats and keep fingers crossed……!!!!”

Jonny has been allocated shirt number 16.
