South Normanton Athletic have signed two new strikers as they look to bolster their attack for the long season ahead.

The shiners have signed former Belper Town player Nathan Scott and Derby County trainee Karl Ashton on a game-by-game basis to cover for long-term injuries and Wednesday's sale of Valadamir Santos Farrell to Carlton Town.

And Mark Harvey, joint manager, told Chad the club were expecting the exciting duo to make their debuts on Saturday at home to high-flying Winterton Rangers.

Said Harvey: "Nathan Scott has some pedigree and I have been impressed by what I have seen. We hope he will make his debut alongside Karl Ashton on Saturday.

"Karl has a lot of pedigree and we are expecting him to stamp his authority and score goals for us. This is a new line-up up front for us but we hope they will work well together and form a good partnership.

"Ashton is hoping to get back into professional football and we know that he may leave if he starts to score a lot of goals for us. Even if he helps us win just a few games then it will be a good signing for us."
