League Two transfers round-up as former Aston Villa, Sunderland and Rotherham United men sign deals
In less than three weeks, the new League Two season will begin, and transfer activity is booming throughout the level.
Let’s examine the operations of a few of Chesterfield’s competitors.
WALSALL
Albert Adomah, a former winger for Barnet, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, QPR, Bristol City, and Middlesbrough, has joined the Sadlers. The 36-year-old signed a one-year contract. He has made two promotions to the Premier League.
The newly-promoted Ravens have re-signed Kamarl Grant from Millwall on loan until January. The defender, 21, helped them get promoted from the National League last season.
Experienced winger Jon Taylor, 32, previously of Doncaster Rovers, Rotherham United and Peterborough United, has signed on the dotted line for 12 months following a successful trial. Salford have also added 38-year-old ex-Hull City, Aston Villa and Stoke City centre-back James Chester to their ranks.
CHELTENHAM TOWN
The Reds have brought in former Sunderland man Harrison Sohna, 22, after a trial. The 22-year-old has earned himself a deal after playing three times during pre-season.
COLCHESTER UNITED
Former Sunderland defender Tom Flanagan has signed a one-year contract. The 32-year-old, also previously of Burton Albion and Shrewsbury Town, has 13 caps for Northern Ireland. He is the ninth summer signing for the U’s, including former Charlton Athletic and Nottingham Forest striker Lyle Taylor, 34.
Marcus Wyllie, a 25-year-old non-league striker who helped Enfield win promotion to the National League South by scoring 34 goals in 49 games, is the gamble made by the Gills. Wyllie will be participating in his first full-time professional football game.
