Maguire-Drew then scored two stunning goals in the 7-0 play-off semi-final win over Hythe on Tuesday and Meeney said: “He has come in and been absolutely terrific, on and off the pitch.
“Again, I thank Brighton for allowing him to come. The contacts that I’ve got there have been very helpful. However, the lad has still got to fit in, which he has done on and off the pitch.
“We know that he can bring that game-changing moment but also today you saw his work ethic defensively. He’s got a bright future ahead of him wherever he goes on to play.”
