Walcott is one of four new Rocks
The Rocks have signed four players - including Theo Walcott's cousin.
Bognor have signed England under-17 international striker Jacob Walcott on work experience from Reading.
He has already made his name at Reading this season, scoring regularly for their Academy side.
He is joined by versatile Daniel Joyce, also on loan from Reading, and both players will go straight into the starting XI for the match at Nyewood Lane against Tonbridge Angels.
The club hope Jacob and Daniel prove as much a success as the last recruit from Reading, Jahson Downes.
Young defender Lewis Dunk has also signed from Brighton and is set to start against Tonbridge. Dunk has scored a number of goals for the Seagulls this season.
Another addition to the squad is Ross Woolf from Selsey, who is effective on the wing and has a reputation as a goalscorer. He is likely to be on the bench this weekend.
Manager Darin Killpartrick said the club had managed to bring in the foursome without spending much money - something they needed to do as they are on tight budget but needed more bodies.
He is particularly excited by Walcott's arrival and said: "We are extremely grateful to Eamonn Dolan, who runs the acedemy at Reading, for making this possible.
"Jacob is an England under-17 international and will be a great asset to us.
"We welcome all four to the club and look forward to working with them. They will pep up the squad and reintroduce a bit more competition for places."
The Rocks have Lewis Ide suspended for the next two games, while Charlie Oatway (foot), Michael Birmingham (rib) and Richard Hudson (ankle) are doubts.
* The Rocks will now play their postponed match at Maidstone United on Thursday, February 25.
With the Ryman League insisting on all clubs playing outstanding matches within 42 days of the original date, this is probably the best date for Bognor as it follows a Monday evening match (away to Aveley) rather than a Tuesday match.
