Giant striker signs up

ALTY have completed the signing of giant striker James Dean on a one-month loan deal.
The 22-year-old Bury striker will add power and presence to a Robins side lacking a genuine targetman and goes straight into the squad for Saturday's game at Salisbury.
Dean spent most of last season at Alty's bitter rivals Northwich Victoria and scored their goal in the 1-1 draw between the two sides at the Victoria Stadium in February.
But he became a transfer rebel in the summer after demanding a move from the Cheshire club and eventually signed for Bury on a free transfer.
The move capped a rapid rise for Dean, a former British kickboxing champion, who had started the 2006/07 season at Unibond League side Clitheroe.
But 13 goals in four months at the Lancashire club earned him a transfer to Northwich, where he scored four times in 20 games.
