York City manager Billy McEwan has strengthened his strikeforce with the signing of former Mansfield Town frontman Chris Beardsley. The 23-year-old joins the Minstermen after ending a second spell with Mansfield at the end of last season.
Beardsley has also played for Doncaster and Kidderminster and finished last season on loan at Rushden and Diamonds.
Northwich Victoria striker Paul Brayson is also expected to join York, along with ex-Vics midfielder Stuart Elliott.
