New Chorley boss Dalton Steele has snapped up the UniBond League's leading goalscorer Tony Carroll in a bid to save the Magpies from relegation.
Carroll, the scorer of 34 goals for Radcliffe Borough this season, has joined on loan with a view to a permanent move and is expected to make his debut in tonight's crucial league clash at Leigh RMI.
He is Steele's eighth signing since he took charge last week.
But striker Jim McCluskie and midfielder Peter Mellor have become the first casulaties under the new regime and were released after training last night.
"Players like Tony Carroll are very few and far between because he's a prolific goalscorer who loves scoring goals," said Steele.
"With the quality I've brought in we'll certainly create chances and hopefully Tony will be able to stick them away."
