Transfer window update

The window slams shut this evening at 11pm sharp and while the premier League goes mad with talk of Torres, Carroll and the like, League Two is busy itself with the usual last minute free transfers and loans. Below is the updated list of transfers so far today:

Winger Simon Hackney has joined Oxford to bolster their attacking options. He arrives on a loan deal until the end of the season. Matt Green has exited the Kassam, meanwhile, also on loan for the season, to Cheltenham.

Lincoln have now joined in the fun and games by extending the loan deal of Gavin Hoyte from Arsenal until the end of the season and adding Scott Spencer to their squad after his release from Southend last week. Spencer was closely followed in the door by Ali Fuseini, formerly of Millwall.

News now coming in that Rotherham have rejected a bid from League One Huddersfield for Adam Le Fondre.

In a later deal, Craig Read left Newport County for Stevenage Borough. Read scored 24goals fro County in the Blue Square South last season and has followed it up with 18 in the Conference this time around. Going the other way are Charlie Griffin and Yemi Odubade in loan deals.

Elliot Benyon left Torquay to move to League One Swindon Town whilst Nicky Wroe also departed Plaimoor for Shrewsbury with Jake Robinson joining the Gulls.

Shrewsbury were busy in the last few hours of the window as they brought in Wolves midfielder David Davis, Wigan keeper Lee Nicholls and West Brom defender Paul Downing on one month loan deals.

Scott Dobie has signed for Bradford from St Johnstone until the end of the season whilst Hereford have snapped up Harry Pell from Bristol Rovers and Rob Purdie on an extended loan deal from Oldham.
