Boston United plan more signings, while Jordan Nicholson deal 'not totally dead'

Craig Elliott wants to add further signings to strengthen his Boston United squad, while the hopes of signing Jordan Nicholson are not 'totally dead'

The Pilgrims have bolstered their side with 10 summer arrivals already, but business isn't completed yet.

"I think the left side needs a couple of players and we'll be near enough where we need to be, and that'll give us a really good depth in the squad," said Elliott.

"It's really important to get the right players in, the right quality, as it's not about signing anyone for the sake of it.

"(The summer signings) have all come in with a purpose to fit into the team. A couple more down that left side, I think, is what we need."

United had hoped to tie down former Peterborough United and Barnet attacker Nicholson, who featured for the Pilgrims in last season's play-offs.

However, Elliott had to turn his attention to strengthening his defence more recently.

"I've not spoken to him for a couple of weeks," he added.

"I know he's spoken to a couple of other clubs, so we'll have to see on that one.

"It's not totally dead, I don't think, but I've not actually spoken to him.

"There were other areas, I said that to him, which were more important for us to fill, particularly full backs."
