Mills and boon - Greg's back at AFC Telford

Star winger Greg Mills is back at AFC Telford United after a last minute deadline day deal - in time to feature in tonight's trip to Workington.

The 20-year-old Derby County wideman has agreed a loan deal until the end of the season after rejecting the chance to join higher level clubs.

And Bucks boss Andy Sinton is hoping to complete two more signings in the next few days - with the addition of a loan midfielder and a striker who is a free agent after leaving a League club.

Sinton said: "We secured Greg late yesterday afternoon and beat off competition from three Conference teams, which was quite pleasing.

"I was disappointed to lose him for a month because he had done well in his first spell, but I totally understand his reasons for going back to Derby and waiting to see if a League club comes in.

"I spoke to him last night at length and straight away he was asking if he was eligible to play tonight.

"He's had a little bit of a tight hamstring so we'll have to take that into consideration but he will be part of the squad."

On the prospect of further additions, Sinton added: "There will be a League midfielder we'll tie up on loan, hopefully today - though I doubt it will be in time for tonight.

"I understand we can do that as the transfer window doesn't apply to us but we are getting that clarified.

"I'm also hoping to get a striker in the next couple of days who is coming out of the League.

"We need that as Andy Brown and Adam Proudlock are both struggling with injuries."

Telford also had "lukewarm" enquiries for two of their players, believed to be skipper Shane Killock and striker Proudlock, ahead of the close of the transfer window.

But chairman Lee Carter said: "It has been made that we didn't really want or need to sell players."
