Rugby Town manager James Jepson has moved to agree deals for new signings ahead of the 2016/17 season.
With the start of pre-season now just three weeks ago, Jepson and his assistant John Ramshaw have been hard at work assembling a squad for the new season with agreements reached for a number of players including Andy Gooding, Nathan Fox and Jake Woolley.

Also agreeing deals are young defender Aiden Print from Ilkeston, 23-year-old former Solihull Moors attacker Alando Lewis and left sided player Conor Green from Stamford.
Meanwhile a number of last season's squad have left for pastures new including Callum Powell (Wrexham), Steve Towers (Coalville), Mitchell Piggon & Matthias Curley (both Chasetown).
