Brett Pitman: AFC Portchester striker's goals rolling back the years

Goals have always been Brett Pitman's stock in trade, but the former Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Ipswich Town striker has taken his scoring exploits to another level this season.

Now aged 35, the Jersey-born forward has traded full-time football for the part-time ranks of AFC Portchester in the ninth-tier Wessex League Premier Division.

And he has already scored more league goals this season than Erling Haaland and Marcus Rashford combined.

A tally of 45 goals in 35 games has helped take the club based in the eastern outskirts of Southampton to the top of their division.

"I'm a winner," he told BBC South Today.
