The biggest name to move this week is a Northern Ireland international, with Blyth Town announcing the signing of Shane Ferguson from Morpeth Town. Dover Athletic also brought in international quality, signing Somalia international Sak Hassan from Hampton & Richmond Borough, Hassan's arrival was confirmed shortly before kick-off, and the winger went straight onto the bench before making his debut.

There was late managerial movement at FCV Grace Dieu, where Jack Hobbs has been appointed First Team Manager following the departure of Shane Clarke, who resigned last weekend. Clarke's assistant George Zuerner and goalkeeper coach James Hilton have also left the club. Elsewhere in the dugout, South Park (Reigate) confirmed Josh Gallagher took charge for the win over Margate, his first game and first win as manager, while Bradford Town have appointed Kurt James as a First Team Coach.
