Striker DJ Campbell is confirmed to be one of the those arrested in the latest round of match fixing allegations. The 32 year old, who played in the Conference for Stevenage before a seven-figure move to the top flight, was confirmed by current club Blackburn to have been detained. The press also report that another of those arrested is Steve Sodje, brother of Sam, Akpo, and Efe, who was previously a semi-pro footballer.

The former Wimbledon man says he reported the matter to the FA after one of his squad was phoned up. Nuneaton boss Kevin Wilkin expects to name player Mark Noon as his new no.2 shortly. Noon, 30, broke his leg in the summer of 2012 and hasn't played since, having been with the Boro since 2004.
