Chasetown make four signings

Chasetown have made four signings – and kicked out on-loan Walsall striker Dexter Ravenhill before tomorrow’s clash against Sutton Coldfield.

Boss Charlie Blakemore has swooped for Willenhall midfielder Mark Briggs and bolstered his goalkeeping options by snapping up former Kidderminster man Steve Taylor from AFC Telford and re-signing another shotstopper in Martin Taylor, who kept goal in the FA Cup first round against Oldham in 2005, from Sheffield.

Full-back Scott Fuller has arrived from the RAF after a spell at Cirencester.

As a condition in the deal, Briggs won’t play when Chasetown play Willenhall at Church Street a week on Saturday.

But Ravenhill has no future at Chasetown after failing to give a reason for not turning up for the game against Dunstable.

Chasetown, who welcome back Dave Woodvine (groin), are looking to build on a run of 13 points out of their last 18 after five away games in six.

But Blakemore knows it will be tough against the third-placed side.
