Nicke Kabamba says he and Jamal Lowe have already started to show their Pompey worth.

The latest recruit from Hampton and Richmond says the 4-0 reserves' beating of Norwich - in which Kabamba scored one and Lowe three - shows how well the pair can link up.

Both are pressing to be involved in Saturday's home game against Exeter but may have to bide their time from the bench.

Kabamba told The News: 'It was great to get my first Pompey game under my belt to show what I am capable of. The boys were bantering me a little bit about my nerves, but I channelled them into the match to make myself play better.

‘It helped having a goal attempt after 16 seconds following a great ball from Brandon Haunstrup. It makes it so much easier playing with better players, you get better service. And it was a massive relief to later get my first goal — and it came from the connection I have with Jamal.

'We were at Hemel together but didn’t really play that much. It wasn’t until we both ended up at Hampton where the partnership really started. But the friendship began at Hemel, that is where we first got to know each other, and I’m hoping to bring our connection on the pitch here.'
