Aldershot have released six players including ex-Bull John Grant and former Shrews striker Omer Riza. They have offered deals to eight existing players plus loanee Dean Morgan, who has been released by MK Dons.

Hereford United winger Marc Pugh has again been linked with Leeds despite the probability that Bournemouth appears to be a more realistic destination for the 23 year old who has turned down a two year deal at Edgar Street.

The Lancashire Telegraph is the latest paper to suggest he might join Leeds.

Meanwhile Micheal Rose could be a target for Hartlepool if he is not offered a deal at Norwich.
