Crewe first-team coach Steve Holland says the impending signing of two strikers does not spell the end of Nicky Maynard's time at the club.

The 21-year-old forward is the subject of attention from other clubs but no contact has been made to Crewe regarding his availability.

Holland told BBC Radio Stoke: "I want to bring in more firepower as my aim is to avoid a repeat of last season."

Maynard scored 15 goals last season after recovering from a broken leg.
