Speaking to the Herald last year, House said he aspires to play in the Premier League and would love to play for England at any age-group level.
He began his career at Worthing United and then had spells with Portsmouth, Charlton and Arsenal before joining West Brom.
Speaking last year, Steve Taylor - then Worthing United chairman but now the chairman at Lancing - had said: "Brad can be an inspiration for a lot of youngsters in Worthing and at Worthing United.
