Macclesfield's summer signing spree continues with the captures of Andre Costa, Harry Agombar, and Junior Yiadom. The trio of midfielders have all come from southern sides at least three divisions below the Conference. Ebbsfleet midfielder Michael West has signed for Crewe for a nominal fee. The 21 year old rejected new terms at Stonebridge Road after scoring eight times last season.
Cambridge have had two bids rejected for Lincoln striker Sam Smith. The 22 year old scored nine in 29 games for the Imps last term, with the U's reported to have offered £15,000 at the second attempt. Barrow have signed former Wrexham striker Obi Anuoro on a one year deal. The 20 year old played just three times for the Dragons in three years, but made numerous appearances in loan spells in the lower leagues.
Forest Green opened their pre-season campaign with a 2-0 win over Brimscombe, fielding a different XI in each half. Worcester may miss out on former Bulls keeper Glyn Thompson after the 31 year old was shortlisted for a coaching job with Leicester City. Luton are trialling former Southend forward Harry Crawford during their training trip to Portugal.
Aberystwyth say they have won a three year compensation battle with Shrewsbury over striker Tom Bradshaw, who joined the Shropshire side as a 16 year old. The sum, around £30,000, is disputed by the Shrews who say they agreed a fee with the Welsh side rather than drag the matter through an appeals process.
Midfielder Lewis Chalmers says he has signed for Grimsby after a trial. The former Macclesfield man has told the Manchester press he felt betrayed to be released from Moss Rose just days after being told he would be offered a new deal.
