Gresley sign two more
Manager Gary Norton has completed the signing of two more players.
French triallist Moussa Sylla was signed by Norton after he impressed in a practice match at Nationwide Conference side Tamworth.The 19-year-old is the cousin of former Liverpool striker Titi Camara.
The other player is defender James Hood who has signed from Western Division rivals Bedworth United.
Hood, who has also played for both Nuneaton Borough and Atherstone United, is currently suffering from a foot injury and will probably need a couple of games in the reserves.
Norton said: "Jamie is cup-tied and is unavailable for the FA Trophy, so it probably won't be until after then that we see him in the first team.
"We have signed Jamie with one eye on next year. Both me and Steve Hinks, our coach, rate him highly. He's only 19 and is tough and aggressive, but also good on the ball. He will increase our competition for places as we have no real cover at centre-half."
