Gresley Rovers have snapped up 19-year-old midfield player David Smith from Fourth Division Rochdale.
Burton-boy Smith, a former winner of the Wembley superskills competition on FA Cup Final day, goes straight into a 13-man squad for Rovers’ Banks’s League Premier Division trip to Blakenall (2.30pm).Rovers’ boss Frank Northwood also includes striker Martin Devaney.
Devaney missed the midweek game against GKN Sankey because of a groin injury, but has declared himself fit and is expected to resume his partnership with Brian Beresford.
Skipper Dave King is still ruled out by a knee injury.
