(I've just realised this actually happened in July but hey ho!)

Always cash in on young players if the money is right!

He joins ex Notts loanee Jake Jervis there (now 33!!)

The guy must like having relegations from the EFL on his CV.

Former loanee Connor Parsons signs for Dagenham and Redbridge after being released by Waterford.

I?d completely missed Ed Francis is now at Exeter and a regular in the starting 11.
I always felt there was a player in there but just never really established himself for us.

Cameron gone to Barrow for the rest of the season

He wasn't bulked up and needed a season or two. If we are going to do this, we need to set up some kind of nursery team in the national league now so we can send them on loan, get them experience and bulked up and ready for the first team/sale

Look at Colby Bishop, we released him and a couple of years later, he's playing Championship football

Accrington deserve a lot of credit for taking a punt on Colby Bishop in 2019 after he’d spent three years in the NLN. As for “a couple of years”, it took him eight years to get to the Championship after we released him.

I’m also not sure how many clubs at our level would have had the patience/resources to stick with a player for three more years before he came good. Fair play to Colby for the excellent career’s he’s had - but he’s definitely the exception rather than the rule.

We released him when he was 19. He'd been on the fringes of the first team. We're happy to sign 21 year old academy graduates and have them on the periphery. The academy is only going to work if we hold on to them until they're in their early to mid 20s
