Striker Lee Healey joins the club after spells with Ashville, Congleton Town and Droylesden, while midfielder Michael Burns joins The Nomads from Guisely of the Conference North.  Burns started his career at Liverpool where he won the FA Youth Cup on two occassions, later joining Bolton Wanderers making regular appearance for the reserves.  In January 2009 he joined Carlisle United, making his debut in a League One clash with Walsall.  Since then he has played for Stafford Rangers, Newport County and Vauxhall Motors.

Director of Football Mark McGregor said "We welcome four top class additions to the squad.  The two Michael's bring football league experience and Lee has played at Conference lelvel.  Russ was the best defender we met in our Championship season and we have long chased his signature.".

The Club are still awaiting international clearance on Russell Courtney and Lee Healey, however, Michael Burns and Michael Jukes are both eligible for Saturday's clash with Aberystwyth Town.
