AFC Telford United are chasing more signings

AFC Telford United boss Kevin Wilkin is still hoping to do more business in the transfer market after seeing his side bag their first win of the National North season.

The Bucks produced a disciplined display to secure a 1-0 success at Scarborough on Saturday. Matty Stenson grabbed the all-important goal with 12 minutes remaining to rewarded a hard-working performance from the visitors.

Boss Kevin Wilkin gave a debut to former Shrewsbury Town defender Mal Benning, who signed on Friday, while another new arrival, winger Kian Ryley, wasn't registered in time to figure.

Benning’s addition brought more experience to the Bucks’ ranks, and Wilkin, who has released Rhys Hilton, Jaiden White and Dion Kelly-Evans in the past week, indicated that more recruits of a similar pedigree were the likely route as he remodelled the Bucks.

"As we know, it's not all that easy, bringing players in that you think pretty much or are certainly going to change what you are and what you do," he said.

“We need to get some more players in, and I need to get some quality in there. I need to grow that situation.

"It's been a real challenge without Jamie (Meddows) and Jordan (Cranston) on that left-hand side, but Mal's gone in there and done really, really well for us.

"Yeah, he hasn't done a great deal through the summer, and I think his fitness will grow from this point. Hopefully it does. It brings competition for that side, and we need more competition within the group.

“It's all very well bringing players in, but you've got to bring players in that you feel have got a genuine chance of improving what we are and what we do. So that is a challenge.

"But we'll enjoy the result and look forward to Tuesday; we’ll pick the bones out of this and enjoy it, but we just want to go again on Tuesday and try to do the same.”
