AFC Telford United duo Robbie Williams and Jordan Johnson will step up their quest for match fitness away from the New Bucks Head, writes JAMES GARRISON.

Defender Williams has re-joined his former club Altrincham in Blue Square North for 28 days on loan after suffering a knee ligament problem in pre-season.

And winger Johnson, a summer recruit from Newcastle Town, is set to link up with Chasetown on a short term spell as he attempts to overcome a thigh problem which has blighted the early weeks of his Telford career.

Manager Andy Sinton is desperate to keep his large squad sharp, and allowed striker Spencer Weir-Daley and utility man Curtley Williams to play for Buxton in their 4-3 victory over Nantwich on Saturday after the pair signed dual registration forms.

Weir-Daley, yet to feature in the Bucks squad, scored twice in that game.

“It’s a good chance for people to go out and get minutes under their belt,” said Sinton.

Meanwhile, the Bucks will play a behind-closed-doors squad game against Wellington Amateurs tonight.

Carl Rodgers, Adam Proudlock and Jon Adams, who have all played little or no first team football yet this term, could all play a part.
