A look at the latest transfer moves and rumours in Carlisle United's division...
ROBINS SIGN ANFIELD PROSPECT AND BOLTON MAN
Swindon Town have signed young Liverpool defender Tom Clayton for an undisclosed fee.
He joins Bolton Wanderers midfielder Ronan Darcy at the County Ground.
The 21-year-old Clayton has signed a two-year deal with the side who visit Carlisle United on the third weekend of the new season.
“I’m itching to get started and push myself hard here. I want to become a first team regular and show the fans what I’m about," Clayton told the Robins' website.
Darcy, meanwhile, has moved for an undisclosed fee having trained with Swindon this summer.
HENDO BACK AT DALE
Rochdale have brought veteran striker Ian Henderson back for a second spell at Spotland.
The 37-year-old returns to the club on a one-year deal, two years after leaving Dale for Salford City.
He was previously with the club for a seven-year stint. “I’m really, really happy to be back here," Henderson said.
“I’m really looking forward to working under Robbie Stockdale. I see it as a new challenge and working with new people with new ideas."
MARINERS MOVE FOR MIDFIELDER
Newly-promoted Grimsby Town are set to sign FC Halifax Town's Kieran Green, according to reports.
Football Insider say a deal has been agreed for the 25-year-old midfielder.
Grimsby are blstering their squad ahead of their return to the EFL, following last season's play-off success in the National League.
TOWN TRIALIST MOVE
Harrogate Town boss Simon Weaver has told the Harrogate Advertiser that he has offered a deal to an unnamed trialist.
The player impressed in a 3-0 friendly defeat to Rotherham United.
"They did well overall," Weaver said of five trialists who featured in the game. "One of the players we have offered a contract to and we are waiting to hear back."
DONNY WINGER RULED OUT
Experienced wide man Jon Taylor will miss the start of Doncaster Rovers' season.
"Jon Taylor pulled his quad in training the other day,” McSheffrey told the Doncaster Free Press.
"It’s quite a bad one, so Jon will be missing for at least a couple of months.
"We’re gutted for him. He was just getting to a level where he was getting up to speed and was training well.”
U'S EYE IRON MAN
Colchester United trialist Ossama Ashley has impressed in pre-season, says assistant boss Joe Dunne.
The released West Ham United midfielder, 22, will continue his bid to earn a deal.
"He's a player that's coming in from good stock," Dunne told The Gazette.
"He has to get up to speed with the intensity of what League Two will be like and the hustle and bustle."
DEPARTURE FROM BANTAMS
While Bradford City have been among the busiest League Two clubs in the market, one player has left Valley Parade in recent days.
Defender Fiacre Kelleher has joined Solihull Moors on loan.
Manager Mark Hughes said: “We felt, and Kells probably felt the same way, that he needed to get out and start playing football again."
BARROW BRING IN BLADE
Barrow have signed Sheffield United midfielder Harrison Neal on a season-long loan.
The Blades prospect has previously been out on loan at Kettering Town and Southend United.
He now heads to south Cumbria to jain EFL experience.
