NEW signings continue to be made ahead of the start of the new football season.
Witton Albion and 1874 Northwich have added to their squads that are preparing for campaigns in Northern Premier League West.
Ben Harrison has added Wade Rutherford from Vauxhall Motors to his selection options.
The 32-year-old defender has had previous spells with Ashton United and Pilkington.
Meanwhile, 1874 are rebuilding under new manager Rory Fallon and have landed Kenny Mwaliteta and Lewis Farmer this week.
Mwaliteta was a much sought-after attacking midfielder who has signed from West Didsbury & Chorlton.
Past spells at Atletico Madrid, Witton Albion, Barnton and with assistant manager Danny Moss at Helsby highlight the experience he brings.
He stood out in the second half of the recent friendly against Bala Town, with the opposition unable to contain his ability on the ball but also off it.
Farmer is an attacking midfielder brought in from Barnoldswick Town in the North West Counties Premier Division.
He started his career as a professional at Sheffield Wednesday but more recently he had a spell at Hednesford Town.
Over at Winsford United, Zambian forward Niza Chilufya – a fans’ favourite - has committed to the club for the forthcoming campaign.
Pre-season friendly action continued on Tuesday night.
Winsford, with four triallists in their starting XI, were 1-0 victors over Witton Albion at Barton Stadium in the Stephen Wright Memorial Shield.
Northwich Victoria were beaten 3-0 at higher-level Nantwich Town.
Vics return to action at CPD Y Rhyl 1879 in North Wales on Saturday, kick-off 2pm.
On the same day, Witton Albion head to Runcorn Town, 3pm; 1874 Northwich are away to their landlords Barnton, 2pm; Winsford United go to Alsager Town.
