Crewe Alexandra have made their second signing of the summer with the capture of Joel Grant from Conference champions Aldershot Town for �130,000.

Grant, 20, made 34 appearances for Gary Waddock's side last season, scoring four goals as they clinched a return to the Football League.

He started his career at Watford and plays predominantly as a winger.

Grant follows Birmingham goalkeeper Adam Legzdins into the Alexandra Stadium this summer.

And first team coach Steve Holland hopes Grant will be the first of three further signings for the Alex.

Former Southend goalkeeper Steve Collis and Tranmere striker Calvin Zola have been in talks with the club and are expected to agree terms.
