Following the start of the season the first month has brought some changes to the squad, we caught up with Manager Joe Doran to take you through the changes:

Ryan Jones re-joined from Bradford Park Avenue. "Ryan re-joined Monday and played against West Didsbury Tuesday night, were pleased to have him back"

Franny Barry - "Franny was injured for most of preseason and only started training once the season had begun. He is a quality player and one that I didn't want to let go but after talking at length with Franny we agreed that much needed run of games is what is required to get him back to his best and at the minute we could not guarantee that. We've agreed with Simon Burton to transfer Franny to COLFC in the hope that he gets back to full fitness and match sharpness as soon as possible".

Tom Peterson - "Tom left the club following the FA Vase game he felt with that his time at Bootle had come to end, I reluctantly agreed to release him to pursue another club. I would like to thank Tom for all his efforts for me and the club over the years and wish him all the best for the future".

Jack Sinnott - "Jack has decided to take a break from football for personal reasons we wish him well".
