....by bringing in Owen Dale on a month's loan from SkyBet League Two side Crewe Alexandra.

The 19-year-old winger can also play as a striker and has already featured on four occasions in League Two, making 6 first-team appearances in all competitions to date for his parent club, having caught the eye as a regular goalscorer with both the under-18s and under-23s during the last couple of seasons.

Dale played at Moss Lane earlier this year, during a very successful loan to Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Premier Division side Witton Albion, contributing an important part in Witton's 4-3 victory on New Year's Day at The J.Davidson Stadium.

In April, Dale signed a new two-year contract (with an option for a further two years) on improved terms and is clearly very highly regarded at The Alexandra Stadium.
