And Blake, who saw his charges finish 9th in the standings after a 1-0 defeat at Enfield Town on Saturday, has praised the Woodside Road outfit and congratulated Hinshelwood on his success.
He said: "Huge congratulations to Worthing on their title, they totally deserve it. Adam has done a great job and deserves a lot of credit for that and we wish Worthing all the best next season. We are really pleased that they have accepted our invite and it will be a huge test and a good marker for us.
"Worthing at home obviously has lots of appeal in terms of being a big attraction for supporters and we're delighted to be playing Adam's side as they gear up for an exciting season for them after gaining promotion.
