BBC Sport has reported Neil Warnock is likely to take on a role at National League South side Torquay United following the club's takeover. The Bryn Consortium of local businessmen have bought the club, subject to creditor approval.
Warnock, 75, managed Torquay in 1993 and has been advising the consortium as they bid to buy the club, which had been in administration. His last role in football was a short-lived spell in charge of Aberdeen.
Midfielder Jack Holmes appears to have left step three side Halesowen Town. The 22-year-old had a spell with Hereford on dual-registration from the West Midlands side but walked away from the Bulls after ‘not having the right mentality for a relegation scrap’.
The club's new manager Russ Penn, who guided Kidderminster Harriers to promotion last year, has not yet publicly confirmed the release but Holmes posted on X, formerly Twitter: "Thank you to all the players, staff and the chairman for the last few years. All the best for the future."
Darlington have announced midfielder Matty Cornish has signed a contract for the new season.
The 26-year-old originally joined the club in January on a non-contract basis after leaving Marske United, and impressed very quickly with his performances, to the point that a few weeks later the club put him on a contract until the end of the season.
