Winger Osebi Abadaki has been on the move twice in recent weeks, firstly switching Southern Premier Division Central clubs when leaving Barwell for Stourbridge and then quickly returning to the north-west to sign for Northern Premier League Premier Division side Ashton United for a third spell.

Keenan Meakin-Richards has made a few changes to his squad at Premier Division Central outfit Hednesford Town recently, including making several new signings.

To make way for those new recruits, some players have left Keys Park.

Goalkeeper Andy Wycherley has left on a permanent basis to sign for NPL Premier Division side Nantwich Town, while Ben Guy, who had only signed for the Pitmen at the beginning of the month following his release from Aston Villa, has gone to NPL Division One Midlands neighbours Sutton Coldfield Town on loan to get in some game time.

He joins Callum King-Harmes at Coles Lane, the former Bolton Wanderers` winner having joined the Royals on dual-registration earlier this month.

Also, out on dual-registration is Pitmen youngster Sam Wollaston, who has joined Midland League Division Two side Bolehall Swifts to obtain more experience in men`s football.

Experienced defender Jamie Ashmore has left Premier Division Central club Alvechurch and is another to have made the move to Sutton Coldfield.

Also leaving Lye Meadow is 20-year-old midfielder Sam Fitzgerald, who signed for `Church in the summer from Midland League Premier Division outfit Walsall Wood.

He has returned to the Midland Premier with Lichfield City.

Jimmy Ginnelly has been making changes to his squad at another Premier Division Central club, Nuneaton Borough.

That has led to two players leaving Liberty Way in Jordan Gough and Jordan Goddard.

Experienced defender Gough has moved to NPL Premier Division side Mickleover, while attacking midfielder Goddard has re-joined NPL Division One Midlands side Halesowen Town to begin his third spell at The Grove.

Former Coventry City winger Dexter Walters has become another signing for Mickleover, this time on a month`s loan from Premier Division Central side Tamworth.

Another player returning to a former club is defender Callum Westwood, who has left Premier Division Central Stratford Town to return to NPL Division One Midlands outfit Corby Town.

Another player who has `done the rounds` is defender Henry Eze and he has left Division One South side Evesham United to step back up a level with NPL Premier Division strugglers Grantham Town.

Sam Walton has left Premier Division Central side Barwell for NPL Division One Midlands outfit Bedworth United, while Ryan Towner has returned to the same division with Histon from Barwell`s league rivals, Royston Town.

Three players have moved up to Vanarama National League clubs.

Defender Jack Westbrook has left Premier Division Central side Banbury United to sign for National League South Hemel Hempstead Town.

Former Colchester United goalkeeper Callum Coulter`s potential was spotted by National League outfit Aldershot Town, and they snapped him up from Premier Division South side Harrow Borough, for whom he had joined in the summer following his release by the U`s.

Bayley Brown, the son of former England semi-professional international Dereck Brown, has left Harrow`s league rivals Hendon and made the short trip to National League South neighbours St Albans City, which means he is now being managed by Ian Allinson instead of son Lee!

Three players have moved to Step 5 clubs, with the experienced Lewis Gabbidon leaving Division One Central Kidlington to signed for Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division side Ardley United.

Former Mangotsfield United and Cirencester Town striker Daniel Demkiv has left Division One South side Larkhall Athletic for Toolstation Western League Premier Division outfit Westbury United, while former FA Vase winner, midfielder Mike Carter, has joined Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) Premier side AFC Portchester on loan from Premier Division South neighbours Gosport Borough.
