News Round Up

Wrexham have lodged a five figure bid for Chester winger Kevin Ellison. Chester have acknowledged the bid and will issue a response - a reaction that has caused concern amongst their fans. Ellison took some prising away from Tranmere last summer, and he is their current top scorer.

Morecambe have had a bid rejected for Bury striker Andy Bishop. The bid, claimed to constitute a club record, was instantly rejected with boss Sammy McIlroy saying that Bury had already turned down £280,000 for the £400,000 rated player. Bradford have signed Fulham's teenage defender TJ Moncur on a one month loan.

Brentford have extended the loan of Reading goalie Ben Hamer until the end of the season. Hamer, 20, has played ten times for the club already this season. Forest Green have had a £15,000 bid for Crawley midfielder Tyrone Thompson rejected. Mansfield are to sign striker Jefferson Louis on contract until the end of the season. The much travelled target man has had six Conference clubs in as many years, and quit Weymouth earlier in the month.

Former Bull Andy Moran has moved back into the English Leagues, joining Fleetwood Town from Rhyl. The striker scored 99 times in 148 games, and moves for a nominal fee. Former Bulls trainee Adam Worton has been named the Welsh Premier player of the week after scoring twice for Newtown. The 20 year old midfielder joined Newtown in the summer after a year at Caersws following his Bulls' release.

Cambridge United are forecasting losses this season of around £350,000 - a slight improvement on the £540,000 loss from last season. Most of it is down to a 25% increase in attendances at the Abbey Stadium. They do not forecast to break even for another two seasons.
