News Round Up

Port Vale's board have rejected Mike Newton's investment proposal. The board said the £500,000 offer was not convincing and that the off-field savings claimed were not achievable. Southend have handed trainee Merrick James-Lewis his first pro contract. The midfielder, who was previously with Fulham's youth side, has signed a two year deal.

Accrington have signed defenders Leam Richardson and Andrew Owens on short term deals, and handed former Preston trainee Tom Smyth a one year deal. Richardson has proved his fitness after lengthy injury problems, while Owens comes from Glenn Hoddle's Academy side. Stanley have failed in a bid to resign Paul Mullin from Morecambe. The 36 year old has been on the bench for the Shrimps so far this season but he remains in their plans.
