GARETH Barfoot has joined the player exodus from troubled AFC Totton.

The popular 31-year-old former BAT, Christchurch and Eastleigh goalkeeper has rejoined Conference South newcomers Gosport Borough after a six-year absence from Privett Park.

Cash-strapped Totton, who are currently fighting for survival, have already lost star winger Mike Gosney to Gosport.

Jamie Whisken, Jono Davies and Richard Gillespie have joined Poole Town and centre-back Ross Bottomley has moved to Blackfield & Langley along with the Stags' dual-signed Totton & Eling striker Craig Feeney.  

Gosport, meanwhile, have added former Pompey, Torquay and Bristol Rovers coach Shaun North to their backroom staff for pre-season and hope he will extend his stay.
