Before Saturday’s game against Ilkeston, Nick Spooner has bolsted his striking options by bringing in forward Brad Holmes, on loan from Marine, and has also extended the loan of Ewan Bange, from Radcliffe FC for another three months.

Spooner said ”Brad is a player we know well he first came into us as a kid from Blackpool when we first got the job and was a bit raw but he has lots of experience at this level and the one above and we feel he can compliment Ewan and allow us try something different.

Ewen was an easy decision to extend, he has done really well for us and I spoke to Johnno (Anthony Johnson) at Radcliffe and they are happy with how it’s going and most importantly Ewan wants to stay.”
