No more ins at Notts County

It’s business done at Meadow Lane. The club aren’t bringing anyone else in after adding Sam Graham to the squad yesterday.

The 26-year-old has made ten appearances in the Championship for The Tigers this season after joining in the Summer from Portsmouth.

Stockport’s Director of Football Simon Wilson said: ‘Andy is a player from the local area who knows already what this club is all about, and the journey that we’re on right now, and I’d like to welcome him to the Club. His addition will add further depth and quality to our first-team squad for the season run-in, as we look to secure promotion to the Football League.’

Another one in for the leaders

Who the bookies fancy

Here’s the latest National League promotion odds. They might be changing a fair bit after today’s deadline deals are done and dusted.

The promotion run-in

A reminder of who the National League’s promotion hopefuls still have to play this season.

QPR defender Kai Woollard-Innocent is on the radar of National League trio Aldershot Town, Boreham Wood and Eastleigh, as well as National League South outfit Woking, according to a report by West London Sport.

Spireites to make double swoop?

Stockport’s Director of Football Simon Wilson said: “Courtney is an athletic forward player who has strong pedigree in the National League from his time at Yeovil and Bromley. He will add excellent competition and depth to the squad, as we now approach the final run in.’
