Morecambe have bid £60,000 for an un-named League Two striker, and have also made a cash offer for a defender. Grimsby are set to release striker Martin Butler. The recent signing from Walsall is struggling with the travel from his Worcester home.
Shrewsbury have signed midfielder Asa Hall on loan from Birmingham until the end of the season. The attacking midfielder, 21, is a regular scorer in their reserve side. He is the fifth signing of the transfer window, with a striker still expected to join. Chester have rejected a five figure bid for central defender Paul Linwood from a fellow League Two side.
