Dan Martin and Charlie Hall join the ranks after both were released by Accrington Stanley in the summer.

Martin, 24, made 69 appearances in the EFL for Stanley, Hall, 20, also was released by the Lancashire club in the summer after two years at the club.

Manager Michael Clegg said ”Dan has been training with the PFA over the summer and is keen to get back into full time football, as is Charlie, and if we can help them get back higher then everyone benefits as it shows they will have contributed to us.”

On the eve of the season, Michael Clegg has strengthened his squad by bringing in Ryan Liu and Sanchez Phillips the 18 year old’s join up with the Tigers as we approach a busy start to the season.

Liu, a forward and Phillips a defender have both impressed in the Premier League Under 18 divisions and have made the step up to the Under 21’s.

As part of their development we are grateful to Stoke City for letting them come to us, both will be available for selection for tomorrow’s opener at home to Emley (3pm Kick Off).
