BRANTHAM Athletic are closing in on two new signings.

Boss Paul Skingley has had very positive chats with his targets and hopes to be able to name then soon.

However, due to work commitments and holidays, there might not be any concrete news for another fortnight.

“I’m hopeful we’ll be able to bring another couple in,” he said.

“I’ve had face-to-face conversations with the pair of them and it all seems very positive.

“They’ve trained when they can and one of them has had a couple of run-outs in our pre-season friendlies.

“But I’d rather not name them publicly yet, until they’ve officially signed for us.

“Unfortunately, though, that might not be for another couple of weeks, due to different circumstances like work and holidays.

“Both are good players but it’snot just about being a good footballer – they have to be the right type of characters to fit into our dressing room.

“They have to want the same things as the rest of us.”

Skingley expects that to be the end of his summer business.

“Never say never, but I’d expect that to be the case,” he said.
