After the loan signing of Antonio Diaz from Salisbury, the Crusaders have snapped up Mike Atkinson (pictured) from Bracknell Town until the end of the season as a Hungerford Town player.

This 22 year old combative midfielder was widely regarded as their best player and he is keen to test himself at Step 2. Danny felt the midfield area needed a couple of new recruits to bolster the squad and improve selection options.

Andre Burley has impressed during his loan spell from Wycombe and is available until the 28th of January, where we hope to extend his spell with us if possible.

It's a sad goodbye to both Ralph Graham and Sam Alderson who struggled to get into the match day squad and we wish them well for the future.

The future sure looks bright for this talented squad, who continue to defy the odds of relegation favourites at the start of the season.

Danny is confident we can continue to surprise a few with the odd tweak here and there when the right player becomes available and importantly staying within our small budget.

We really are proving the hashtag Small but Mighty is true and long may that continue.
