WEMBLEY SPECIAL • WEMBLEY SPECIAL • WEMBLEY SPECIAL Away from the managerial gravy train for a while, and three players have made early moves into the Football League. Perhaps given his form for Dover Athletic in the National League where he scored an incredible 42 goals, striker Ricky Miller`s transfer to League One Peterborough United came as little surprise. Twenty-eight-year-old former Stamford, Corby Town and Boston United man Miller, who was raised in nearby Bretton, agreed a three-year contract at the ABAX Stadium after Posh beat a number of other clubs to his signature.
The 25-year-old former AFC Fylde player has scored 29 goals this season and also moves on a three-year deal. Liam Nolan completed a transfer to League Two side Accrington Stanley from Southport, who were relegated from the National League, for an undisclosed fee. The Northern Ireland central midfielder joins up with previous Port manager John Coleman.
Nolan, 22, came through Everton and then Crewe`s academy, going on to play 26 times for the Railwaymen`s senior side.
He was released at the end of the 2014/15 season and signed for Southport in August 2015. 6

Meredith needs no introduction to the Shortwood supporters as he guided the reserve team through a highlysuccessful period that saw them achieve two successive promotions from the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League to the Hellenic League Division One West before stepping down with current reserve team boss Nick Ackland taking charge.

He played around sixty times for Port and scored 4 goals.
The continuation of Morford as player-coach is also a major boost for the club as he brings a wealth of experience and knowledge and he showed last season what an asset he is to the club. Northern Premier First Division South club Leek Town saw the departure of their management team of Ant Danylyk and Paul Donnelly. The announcement came after Board discussions with the management duo. And there must be something in the local water, as nearby, Leek`s league rivals Newcastle Town also announced that their manager Scott Dundas and his staff had resigned. Forty-two-year-old Dundas, who made his name in management guiding Norton United to the North West Counties Premier Division title in April 2014 and promotion to the NPL before taking them to the First Round of the FA Cup that year, took over at Castle a year ago When Norton folded at the end of the 2014/15 after falling out with the owners of their ground, Dundas was appointed manager of NPL First Division North side Witton Albion before leaving after ten games at the helm
