Dan Cockerline and Leon Hughes

Dan Cockerline

Following consultation it has been confirmed that Dan Cockerline will need a shoulder operation, and to prevent further damage, Dan will almost certainly be sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Dan is devastated but by his own admission has struggled in recent games.

On a more positive front Dan will remain as a key member of Deakz’s back room staff.

Leon Hughes

Additionally we can announce that midfielder Leon Hughes has signed on work experience forms from Shrewsbury Town and comes straight into the squad against Runcorn.
