Melon adds Torpey to a side that is three points off the top of the table.

Fleetwood Town have completed the signing of midfielder Steve Torpey from AFC Telford.

The 28-year-old goes straight into their squad for Saturday's game against Alfreton Town.

Manager Micky Mellon told the club's website: "He's a player we've been after for some time and I'm pleased it's done and dusted.

"He adds something different to the squad and adds to the quality we have at Fleetwood Town."

Torpey had a productive season for Stalybridge Celtic last term where he scored 12 goals in 46 games.

He said: "Fleetwood have a very good squad. I'm not expecting just to walk in. It'll be challenge enough to just earn a starting place."

Torpey will not be available for Fleetwood's FA Cup first round tie at Northampton as he has already represented Telford in this season's competition.
