Blyth Spartans have announced the signing of Matthew Elsdon from Barrow.

The former Middlesbrough youngster is Michael Nelson’s third new signing, following in the footsteps of Callum Guy and Kieran Charlton, who both joined from South Shields last month.

Speaking to the club’s website, Elsdon said: “I’m buzzing to be joining Blyth and can’t wait to get the games started. It feels good to be back playing in the North East after being away for a while.

“I’ve played with Kieran Charlton and Olly Scott before, so I’m looking forward to settling in. The manager played a huge part in my decision to join; with him being a centre-half, I feel he can help me a lot.

“I’m buzzing for the season to start up and for the games to begin, as it’s been a while now since I played 90 minutes.”

Chorley have signed Mike Calveley from National League North rivals Curzon Ashton.

No stranger to the division, having spent the last couple of years with the Nash and Nuneaton Borough, the 21-year-old is the eighth new face through the doors at Victory Park ahead of the 2020/21 season.

He told Chorley’s website: “It was an easy decision to come to Chorley.

“I know the National League North really well from the last two seasons and I’m looking forward to hitting the ground running when football returns.”

Leamington have completed their second transfer of the extended close-season by snapping up Lance Smith from National League North rivals Hereford.

The frontman started his career at Littleton and Badsey Rangers in the Midland Combination before joining his hometown club Evesham United, where he spent three successful seasons, hitting the back of the net 74 times in 154 games.

He then joined Hereford ahead of the 2017/18 campaign as they continued their rapid rise back up the pyramid.

On signing for Brakes, he said: “I’m delighted to sign for Leamington. After a long journey with a niggling injury, I finally feel like it’s fixed and I’m ready for a new challenge.

“Paul Holleran has been in contact with me ever since it happened and he has shown constant support, which has made my decision to join Leamington easy. I believe the club is the perfect fit for me at this stage in my career and I am looking forward to meeting everyone there, and to hitting the ground running when it is safe and possible to do so.”

Ex-AFC Telford United full-back Arlen Birch has joined Chorley ahead of the 2020/21 campaign.

The 23-year-old appeared in 19 games for the Bucks last season after joining the Shropshire side at the beginning of October.

Birch said: “It’s great to have joined Chorley and the season can’t start quick enough.

“The manager sold the club to me and the ambitions to gain promotion match my own.”

Bradford (Park Avenue) have announced the signing of Luca Havern.

The experienced defender re-joins the Avenue after just a season away at Ashton United.

Havern told the club’s website:

“I’m delighted to return to Bradford (Park Avenue) for the coming season and to be able to work with Bowes, Bosh and Tully again.

“Over the two seasons I played at the Horsfall, we had some good times, and I’d love to emulate that again next season. The new pitch will be great for the club and the community and I’m looking forward to getting started and seeing everyone.”

A very strange move caught my eye last night. Stourbridges recently released and highly rated keeper James Wren has turned up at Step 5 Walsall Wood

Yes, I thought he would stay at the same level at least.

Hereford have also signed Dan Jones (former Wolves, Wednesday, Port Vale, Chesterfield and Notts LB/LM) and Paul White (Kettering's GK).

Surprised they've signed White just days after Brandon Hall signed a new contract.
