"We all know what has happened here recently, but this is a big club and some big players have been here over the past few years," Bradley

"This looks like a club that are ready to start moving forwards again."

East added: "This is a massive club who shouldn't really be at this level - now I've got the opportunity to help them rebuild."

And new Portsmouth manager Guy Whittingham said he was delighted with his latest arrivals.

"Sonny Bradley is a big centre half, and knows what the league is about," Whittingham told 91Èȱ¬ Radio Solent. "He is left footed, you have to balance in your squad and he can play out from the back and that will be important for us."

On East, he added: "He is more of a versatile player but is very athletic.

"In the league we are going into you need people who can run, people who can head and people who can score goals and he is a runner as well as a decent footballer."

Whittingham "We were alerted to Romain by Yassin's agent. He came over to train with us and we could immediately see he was a decent player.

"He's hungry and that's the most important thing - he wants to come here and be successful.

"He's come through the Monaco system, so that tells you that he has to be a good player.

"Yassin got better as the season progressed and when he was playing at his best there weren't many who could get past him."
