Blue Square Bet Premier Southport have signed midfielder Aaron Turner from Evo-Stik League First Division North neighbours Skelmersdale United.

The Sandgrounders have won three of their six league games since the turn of the year but sit three points off the relegation zone.

And Southport boss Liam Watson was glad to pull off this deadline day signing.

"He has a good football background and has been outstanding at Skelmersdale," said the Sandgrounders manager.

"He is a strong player with a good technique. I am very pleased to have signed Aaron."

Turner goes straight into the squad for Tuesday night's home league game against Grimsby Town.
