Chester have made a move for Crewe's ex-Shrewsbury forward Luke Rodgers on loan.
With Michael Branch mulling over a budget freeing loan move to Rochdale, Chester may be able to strike a deal to take on loan the pint sized striker who has made just two sub appearances for Crewe in the last month after starting two of the first three games.
In other news, Wrexham have added 6ft 4in Huddersfield striker John MacAliskey to their squad on a months loan ahead of Sunday's match with the Bulls. The 22 year old came through their youth ranks and has scored seven times in around 40 appearances, mainly from the bench. During a loan spell at Torquay last season he paired up with the Bulls Alan Connell in three games with Connell scoring both Torquay goals during the time.
