News Round-Up


Luton have signed released Torquay defender Lathaniel Rowe-Turner on a two year deal. Boss Paul Buckle signed the 22 year old for the Gulls, but he fell out of favour under current Plainmoor boss Martin Ling. Forest Green have signed former Luton defender Ed Asafu-Adjaye on a one year deal. The 23 year old came through the Hatters youth team but never established himself as a first team regular, making 72 appearances in five years.

Kidderminster have signed defender Exodus Geoghaghon on a one year deal. The much travelled 6ft 5in former Darlington man has played for seven different sides in the last two years. Telford have invited former Port Vale keeper Chris Martin to pre-season training. The 21 year old was rumoured to be a target of the Bulls before James Bittner's arrival at Edgar Street.

Former Bulls trainee Tyler Weir has confirmed he will not be a Gloucester City player after turning down their contract offer prior to yesterday's deadline. He is expected to sign for Worcester. Cambridge are trialling released 6ft 9in Wycombe keeper Jason Mooney in pre-season. Manager Jez George says that a keeper is the only likely signing he will make after doing a string of early deals.

Wrexham signing Brett Ormerod is reported to have rejected moves to Accrington and League One Bury to sign a two year deal at the Racecourse Ground. Ormerod, 35, is also claimed to have been offered a £300 a week deal to stay at Blackpool. Former Bull Craig Stanley says he is 'surprised and disappointed' at his Bristol Rovers departure, saying that manager Mark McGhee told him he was part of his plans in April. The 29 year old has signed a two year deal at Aldershot.

The new Supporters Trust owners of Wycombe say that, even after conducting due dilligence on the business, they don't know the financial effect that Wasps rugby has on the football club. They say the finances of the two clubs were mixed together, with football club employees actually working for the rugby club and several joint sponsorship deals. Wasps are also due to be sold by owner Steve Hayes and are expected to leave Adams Park.

Wrexham say they have accepted a request from striker Jake Speight to leave the club. The former Bradford striker says he no longer wants to commute from his Sheffield home and wants a club closer to his base, with the Dragons saying they have accepted an offer from an unnamed Conference side. The 26 year old netted 21 times last season. Former Bulls loanee Moses Ashikodi has signed for Ebbsfleet for the coming season. The 25 year old had a short spell at Stonebridge Road two years ago.

Kidderminster are to lose the services of midfielder Dan Bradley after the 20 year old reportedly turned down their contract offer. The former Tamworth man only signed in January and played 15 times for the Harriers, with boss Steve Burr saying the club will expect a fee. Luton have appointed Carl Emberson as their first team development coach after he left a keeper coaching role at Bristol Rovers, where boss Paul Buckle also appointed him.

Southport are to sign Stockport Sports midfielder Aaron Chalmers for a small fee. The 21 year old was previously a pro with Oldham and Macclesfield. Macclesfield reported a turnover of £2.05million for the year to June 2011 at their AGM last night, notching their first profit since 1997 in the accounts. Shareholders voted in favour of reducing the number of directors needed to hold a board meeting from five to just two.

Hyde have signed midfielder Grant Spencer from Ramsbottom United. The 20 year old was on the books of Bolton as a teenager.
