Boston United make two signings ahead of Chester trip

Boston United have added to their ranks by bringing in Jordan Nicholson and Matt Challoner.

The duo, both 26, could make debuts at Chester tomorrow (KO 3pm).

Right back Challoner won the National League North play-off final with Chorley last season, and joins from the Magpies until the end of the season.

"It is clear to see that we have had a few problems at right-back all season, with injuries, recalled loan players and losing Alex Penny unexpectedly like we did," manager Craig Elliott told bufc.co.uk.

"It was important, as we come into the most crucial part of the season, to sign a permanent and proven right-back.

"We have got that in Matt, who brings a will to win and massive experience of playing in very strong Chorley teams over a number of seasons.

"He obviously played a massive part in helping Chorley to promotion last season and has played a lot of football in the National League this season so he should be a great addition to our squad.

"I would like to thank Jamie Vermiglio, the Chorley manager, for all his help in getting the deal over the line."

Nicholson has joined from Hereford FC and had experience with Darlington and Nuneaton.

"Jordan is a player I have tried to sign on a number of occasions since being Boston United manager," Elliott added.

"He provides us with attacking threat and has a lot of quality in the final third that at the present time we lack.

"His goals-to-games ratio at this level for an attacking midfielder is very impressive."
