Elsewhere In League Two... (11)

The transfer market hasn't been quite so busy since the season began last Saturday and quite a few of the moves that have taken place later in the week have been loan deals. Most squads have been assembled now so any transfers that take place in August are likely to be managers making the finishing touches to compliment what they have.

Plymouth Argyle did complete the free transfer of Neal Trotman from John Sheridan's former club Chesterfield but the defender has only penned a month's contract so far. Burton Albion have bolstered their strikeforce with the acquisition of Adam McGurk on a free from Tranmere Rovers and Southend United swooped for Dundee midfielder Don Cowan, also on a free.

Elsewhere, in the latter half of the week after the Capital One Cup matches, Rhys Weston signed for AFC Wimbledon after a successful trial period. The defender most recently played for KR Reykjavik in Iceland. Bury, the busiest club in England, completed a loan move for Jordan Sinnott of Huddersfield Town in a bid to increase competition for places after their takeover at the end of last season. Kevin Blackwell has made no fewer than 17 signings this summer after the club were forced to release all their players following their relegation from League One. Mansfield Town strengthened their forward options after finally handing a contract to trialist Calvin Andrew, who was released by Port Vale at the end of last season.

Southend United, following defeat to Yeovil Town in the cup on Tuesday evening, brought in Adam Thompson from Watford on a 6 month loan to cover the impending departure of former captain Chris Barker. Northampton Town made the final move of the week by signing Jacob Blyth on loan from Leicester City. The young striker has signed a 1 month loan deal.
