Alfreton Town have brought Dan Bradley to the Impact Arena.

The midfielder, who played for the Reds for four seasons from the 2011/12 campaign, re-joins following spells at AFC Fylde and Kidderminster Harriers.

Bradley scored 18 league goals as Fylde claimed the National League North title in the 2016/17 campaign.

Manager Billy Heath said: “It is such a great signing for us to get Dan back at the Impact Arena. I tried to sign him before when I was at Halifax.

“He is an experienced player and will be a big part of the squad. Dan is a top, top player at National League level and we are hoping for big things.

“The main thing for us was that he wanted to come back and he returns to us for all the right reasons.”

Nuneaton Borough have announced the return to the club of Carl Baker.

The 37-year-old midfielder, who played four seasons in the Championship for Coventry City and Milton Keynes Dons, initially joined Boro’ in August 2018.

The ex-Southport star now returns following a spell at Brackley Town.

“He always did well against us and I was close to bringing him in last season; he has been on my radar for a while.”

Guiseley captain Hamza Bencherif has signed a new contract with the club.

The French-born central defender has played for the likes of Macclesfield Town, Notts County and Lincoln City during his time in England, having joined Nottingham Forest as a teenager.

He was joint-winner of the Supporters’ Player of the Year award with Kaine Felix at Guiseley this past season, and after agreeing his new deal, he told the club’s website of his first year at Guiseley: “I enjoyed every minute of it. I discovered a convivial club with great supporters, and an amazing young squad full of talent that I have been privileged to see grow during the season, even though I have a feeling of unfinished business, as I truly believe with our energy we could have made a late run for a play-off spot.”
