Town boss McGrath working on further additions to his squad

The Town manager says work is ongoing to bring further new faces in after the additions of left-back Raheem Conte and attacking midfielder Ben Tollitt before last Saturday's 3-2 opening day defeat at Forest Green Rovers.

The Courier understand Conte has joined on a two-year deal, and that Tollitt has penned a one-year contract.

On whether any further signings would be completed before Saturday's first home game of the season against Boreham Wood, McGrath said: "That's the plan, we are working on it.

"We have got certain things in the pipeline to get certain players in but they're good players so they've got a couple of other people to speak to, so we'll wait and see what happens."

McGrath added: "I think we need a central midfielder, we've got three in there but I want four.

"I think we need another winger/number ten because if anything happens to Zak, we've only really got Ben Tollitt.

"And I think we probably need another centre-forward to compliment David, Morgs and Conor Carty, and then depending on the injury to Dylan Crowe, we could be in the market for a right-back/left-back."
