News Round Up

Crewe are set to sign Hibs' former York striker Clayton Donaldson. The one time Conference top scorer has been a peripheral figure for the SPL side since arriving, but has been chased by a number of League One and Two sides. Blackburn boss Paul Ince is rumoured to be ready to bid for Oldham full back Neil Eardley.

Walsall have signed former Premier League wonderkid Stephen Hughes as their new captain. The now 31 year old cost Everton £3million from Arsenal in 2000 but was given a free transfer just 12 months later, spending three years in the wilderness before a four year stint at Coventry. The Saddlers have also signed German winger Marco Reich. The former Derby and Crystal Palace man, 30, has one cap for his country nine years ago.

Tranmere have delayed releasing their new away kit after a typhoon in China delayed manufacture of the kit. Bristol Rovers have a growing injury list ahead of the season opener, with Danny Coles and ex-Bull Ryan Green joining four others on the treatment table. Dagenham have confirmed a bid from an unnamed League One side for Ben Strevens, but the striker turned down the move.
