Widdrington played 17 matches on loan last season at Havant & Waterlooville, scoring three goals as they won the National League South title.

He joins 17-year-old Luton midfield prospect Drew Richardson in boosting Bognor's options in the centre of the park following confirmation of Tommy Block's move to Scottish Premiership outfit Hibernian.
