STOKE have made two further signings ahead of the National League season – with Kyle Hughes and Luke Priest both linking up with the Potters for 2013.
Hughes joins the club on a 6.12 average which Stoke feel he is more than capable of improving upon, whilst Priest returns after two years with Buxton having previously won silverware at Loomer Road.
Manager Malcolm Vasey said: “Kyle has thought long and hard about the move before committing himself, and I feel he is a steal as I believe that he can be pushing for the No.1 berth because potentially that is what he is - a No.1.
“Things are moving along very nicely and I’m pleased with the way things are going as we continue to build our team in readiness for when we come to the tapes in 2013.”
