3 new strikers


First through the door at the Marston's Arena is 21-year-old Joel Byrom, an attacking midfielder from Clitheroe.


"He can get goals from the centre of the park," Maamria told the Guardian.

"Joel is technically gifted and is someone I am familiar with from my time working with Burnley's youth team."

Joining Byrom in the squad for Saturday is striker Keith Barker.

He has switched from Irish side St Patrick's Athletic but before that had come through the youth ranks at Blackburn Rovers.

"Keith is exactly the type of striker I have been after," said Maamria.

"He is 6ft 3ins and so gives us a real physical presence in attack that I feel has been missing these past few weeks.

"He has been capped for England at U18s and U19s level so is clearly somebody with talent."

FC United of Manchester front- runner Hanley completes the surgery to Maamria's forward line.

Capable of playing wide or down the centre, he is another that the Vics boss knows from working at Turf Moor.

"These three represent the future of this football club," added Maamria.

"But I also believe they will make a huge difference here and now. That's always been my strategy - to get young, hungry players in the team that want to fight to keep this team in the Blue Square Premier."

Maamria admitted that there would be a number of departures in the coming days with transfer-listed trio Chris Williams, Paul Tait and Kevin Townson all needing to find a club.

Meanwhile Mark Birch has also ended his loan stay at Vics and returned to Gretna.

From the BBC:

Three in for battling Northwich 
Northwich have signed three players as they battle to stay in the Conference.
Ex-Blackburn Rovers reserve pair Keith Barker and Joel Byrom and ex-Burnley youth-team striker Cayne Hanley have all joined Northwich on free transfers.

Frontman Barker, 21, has signed from Irish side St Patrick's Athletic while midfielder Byrom, 21, joins from UniBond League side Clitheroe.

Hanley, 18, has been playing for FC United following a short loan spell at Kidderminster last season.

DINO Maamria has added swooped to sign another attacker.

The Vics boss has fought off competition from a host of clubs to capture FC United of Manchester front runner Aaron Burns.

He has signed an 18-month deal at the Marston's Arena.

"This is a huge capture for us," Maamria told the Guardian tonight, Thursday.

"I have been after him from the moment I took over as manager but have been forced to wait for the transfer window.

He has an eye for goal and I'm convinced he will get a hatful for us."

Burns was released by the Rebels this week and becomes the fourth attacker to sign for the Blue Square Premier club this week.

He scored eight goals in 14 appearances since signing for the UniBond Division One North promotion chasers from Cardiff City in October. He has been unable to play for a club at a higher level until the transfer window opened on New Year's Day.

Burns, 20, has been training with Northwich for the past fortnight and also had a trial for the club when Paul Warhurst was in temporary charge back in September.

"Paul decided not to take a chance on him," added Maamria.

"But I was desperate to get his number from day one and am delighted to have him here at last."

Burns arrival means that Maamria can field a totally re-modelled strike force for the visit of league leaders Aldershot Town on Saturday.

Keith Barker, Cayne Hanley and Joel Byrom are all available for selection along with Huddersfield Town loanee Lucas Akins.

Injured pair Lee Steele and Jake Speight are both definitely out.

"We would like to thank Aaron for his endeavours and wish him all the best in the future," FC United boss Karl Marginson told the club's official website
