Kyle Clancy, 20, has been signed as cover for the injured Tim Dittmer who has a lung injury. Clancy spent the earlier part of his career at Everton and Bury before joining Blackpool were he was a regular for their reserves before transferring to Conference Droylsden in July 2008.

Lloyd Ellams, 20, is a young striker who was with Chester City from 2008-2010 including a loan spell at Droylsden during that time. He made a handful of Football League appearances scoring two goals.

Midfielder Steven Vaughan Jnr, 25, made 58 Football League appearances from 2005-2007 for Chester City before moving on to Rochdale and Boston Utd before returning to Chester City in 2008. Vaughan started his career at Liverpool making 70 appearances for the Reserves and represented England at Under-15, Under-17 and Under-19 level.

Marine Chairman Paul Leary said:
“It is important that Kevin continues to strengthen the squad as we move towards the close of the season. Tim Dittmer has had a reaction from an old lung injury he had some time ago and Kyle will provide that quality of cover that is needed as we push on. The signing of Lloyd and Steven will assist greatly with Kevin’s objectives in the final part of the season. It is hoped that all three will be eligible for tonight’s home game against Kendal Town.”

Marine Manager Kevin Lynch said:
“The signing of the three players could not be better timed as the transfer deadline looms near. I am pleased that the three players have joined Marine and each will provide me with additional benefits and options as I try to continue to improve the overall quality of the squad.”
