Highly-rated Hastings United star Davide Rodari has attracted ‘serious interest’ from a number of clubs, CEO Billy Wood has revealed.

The Italian-born 20-year-old has been on scorching form this season - including scoring eight goals in one game against East Grinstead earlier in the season.

And now with the January transfer window open, clubs are knocking at the door - including National League Harrogate Town.

Wood said: “It’s true Harrogate have shown strong interest but no formal offer has materialised.

“Am I shocked we have been approached on Davide? Absolutely not.

“Davide is a fine example of what this club is looking to do in a sense of development and growth. If Harrogate think they are the only club, they are wrong, we have had league clubs show serious interest too.”

A regular goal scorer in the club’s under-19 and development sides during the 2016-17 campaign, Rodari was promoted to the first-team setup in the 2017-18 season. At that stage he attracted attention from a Championship club - but he suffered an acl injury which saw him sidelined for a number of months.
