Plymouth have extended the loan of Blackpool full back Paul Bignot until the end of the season. The former Newport man has played nine times for the Pilgrims so far. Crawley have signed Arsenal forward Sanchez Watt on loan until the end of the season. The England u19 international spent last season at Leeds, scoring once, and had a goalless month at Sheff Weds earlier this term.

Port Vale's Supporters Club have confirmed they have formally asked the club to call an EGM. The news comes on top of further revelations that the club have broken the rules of their £2.2million council loan for a second time after failing to provide the council with relevant financial information. Meanwhile, the club have come under further fire after reporting fans to the Police for protesting against the board. Several fans received Police visits including one that took photographs of the club's ground.

The 22 year old Scot has been only a bit part player since joining from Rangers on a two year deal in 2010.

Kidderminster midfielder Lee Hendrie has been declared bankrupt after failing to respond to court filings made by the taxman.

Neath say they have settled their problems with the taxman, and made midfielder Kris O'Leary their permanent new manager. The club have shed several players, including ex-Bull Sam Gwynne, after having cashflow problems following heavy spending last season.
