The attacker’s pedigree is clear, having come through the ranks at Fulham and enjoying a successful Premier League 2 career, captaining his side while making 63 appearances and notching 31 goal involvements.
The 23-year-old has also made his mark on the international stage, with appearances for England U16, U17, and U19.
Now at Haig Avenue, Sonny joins just in time to get a full pre-season under his belt with Southport FC manager Jim Bentley.
Southport FC Assistant Manager and Head of Football Operations Andy Burgess said: “A further quality addition. Premier League 2, EFL and international experience – no arguing with Sonny’s pedigree and he joins on the back of a really positive season at Bootle FC.
“He is versatile, has bags of ability, creativity, an eye for a pass and can get goals.”
