Signings this week?

Manager Dave Penney is still working hard to bring in some new faces before the round of pre-season games commences. He said, "Bids for four players have been agreed with their agents and hopefully they will be completed this week once they return from holiday. Once those four join Rob Purdie and Jon Worthington in signing you will see the squad gradually taking shape."

"Clubs are not going to be making decisions about loaning players at this stage. They will probably wait until a couple of weeks after pre-season training has started when they start to finalise which players will feature. There is no need to panic as there are still two-and-a-half weeks before pre-season training starts. Most players are still looking around for the best deals. But with pre-season beckoning they will want to get fixed up so there will be a lot more activity from this point."
