MAGPIES’ chief Mark Jermyn revealed that he is still on the hunt to add to his squad, citing a midfielder and a striker as his two main recruitment targets.

Dorchester Town have been on a good run of form of late and currently sit just four points off the Evo-Stik Southern Premier Division play-off spots going into tomorrow's encounter with Slough Town at the Avenue (3pm).

While the county town club moved to recruit striker Toby Holmes last week following the departure of promising frontman Jonah Ayunga to Brighton, the Avenue chief has not ruled out bringing further fresh faces to boost their push for the top five.

He told Echosport: “We have got Toby Holmes in at the moment and we are going to work with him for the next couple of months and see how he progresses.

“We are still on the lookout for a striker as well as a midfielder at the moment.

“We are just keeping tabs on a couple of people.

“At this stage of the season the players you really want are the ones that other clubs are reluctant to let go. We are facing a little bit of a battle with that.”

He added: “It’s no secret to know that we are not really looking for a finished article, we are not looking for a 30-year-old out-and-out goalscorer who is on like £300 or £400 a week.

“We are after the opposite, we are after a youngster that shows potential for the future.

“There are several reasons behind that, one of them is a financial reason but it’s more to fit in with what we have already got.

“We have had a chat with somebody else as well who would be keen to come should we need help with a final push.”

Jermyn politely declined to reveal the names of any potential targets.
