Chasetown move for midfielder

Chasetown have signed midfielder Dean Craven to boost their promotion hopes.

Former Albion reserve Craven is available for tomorrow's derby at Willenhall after arriving from runaway Unibond League premier division leaders Witton Albion.

"Dean's a good kid – he's only 28 and he has a good pedigree," said boss Charlie Blakemore.

"The good thing about Dean is he can play central midfield or wide left so he gives me more options."

Craven has played in the Football League with Shrewsbury and in the Conference with Telford and is the latest signing to bolster the Scholars after the arrival of Todd Perry, Dave Woodvine, Lucan Spittle, Jermaine Gordon and Dexter Ravenhill, who could also make his debut tomorrow.
