Telford bring in Wolves reserve goalkeeper Dan East

Sinton's side are currently top of the Blue Square North

AFC Telford United manager Andy Sinton has reinforced his squad with the signing of Wolves reserve team goalkeeper Dan East.

Sinton was forced to move for East after back-up goalkeeper Dan Platt became the subject of an approach from Nantwich Town.

East, 18, will remain with the Bucks until the end of the season.

"He comes highly recommended and he'll certainly be up to the mark," Sinton told BBC Radio Shropshire.

Platt had earlier indicated that he would accept the offer from Nantwich, but Sinton said he was unhappy with developments.

"Dan (Platt) has been non-contract all season," Sinton said. "We've had an approach for him, and I'm not sure what Dan's going to do, but I can't take the chance.

We put our cards on the table, Ryan (Young) is our number one but we needed someone to come in as cover

"The club can technically speak to him today but they (Nantwich) have already spoken to him.

"I'm not really impressed with the way it's been done to be honest," he added.

Despite the signing, Ryan Young will continue as Telford's first choice.

"We put our cards on the table, Ryan's the number one and we needed someone to come in as cover.

"Dan's quite happy to come in on that basis, gain some experience that way and see what comes," Sinton added.
