SkyBet Championship neighbours Stoke City`s forward Abdul Sankoh joins on a month`s loan.

Sankoh can easily be deployed on either of the wings, and comes into side to help fill the void left by the suspension of Kingsley Adu-Gyamfi and the injury of Ruben Wiggins-Thomas

A very familiar face also returns to Grove in midfielder Tim Sanders, who re-joins on dual registration with Hallmark Security League Premier Division neighbours Hanley Town.

Sanders is a former Hednesford Town youth team player who was allowed to leave the club in February 2008 to join Kidsgrove for the first time.

In three seasons with Grove, Sanders developed a reputation for versatility and consistency, playing in a number of positions for the side.

He joined their ambitious rivals Leek Town in July 2011

His first season at Harrison Park was a major success, as Leek made it to the end of season play-offs, losing to local rivals Ilkeston FC in the final. After agreeing a new deal for the following season, Sanders continued his fine form as Leek challenged Coalville Town at the top of the table

Local rivals Newcastle Town made enquiries about the player in February 2013, with Sanders making to short journey to North Stoke to link up with Newcastle.

His career came on leaps and bounds at the Blues as he finished 2014/15 strongly as club captain and swept the board at the end of season awards.

A switch back to Hednesford followed before, in the summer of 2015 he was on the move again, this time back to Newcastle.

Spells with Nantwich Town, Stafford Rangers and Kidsgrove again followed before he signed for Hanley in the summer of 2019.
