News Round Up

Peterboro have signed lanky defender Ben Futcher from Grimsby for an undisclosed fee. The player reunites with his former Lincoln boss Keith Alexander, and had been a regular for Grimsby since a move from Boston in January. Grimsby have signed midfielder Danny Boshell on non-contract terms and defender Nick Fenton from Doncaster on a three year deal.

Wrexham have had their match with Shrewsbury on Sept 3 cancelled after four players were called up for international duty. Darlington captain Clark Keltie has been ruled out for six weeks after undergoing surgery on an ankle problem. The player should be fit by the time the Bulls entertain the Quakers.

Bury have resigned Man City keeper Kasper Schmeichel on a three month loan spell after a similar deal last season saw the 19 year old play 15 times for the League's bottom side.

Crawley chairman Azwar Majeed has resigned his post but still heads the only offer on the table to rescue the ailing club. The 50p/£ offer is still being mulled over by creditors. A second bidder is waiting in the wings. Europa Sports Promotions had an initial offer rejected and missed the extended deadline for a second bid but have announced that they will make a fresh bid if creditors reject the Majeed's bid.
