One out at Chester as Zack Clarke joins Welsh side Caernarfon Town.

Eastleigh have loaned Ben Greenwood from AFC Bournemouth while the Spitfires also bring in David Longe-King from Dagenham & Redbridge.

Not content with two – Richard Hill also brings in Ben Reeves as he looks to get their play-off push back on track in February.

Spennymoor Town have borrowed striker Mikael Ndjoli from Hartlepool United for the remainder of the season.
