BRIGHOUSE Town boss Vill Powell has made his first signings, drafting in four new faces, and the club have also confirmed their pre-season schedule, with eight warm-up games pencilled in.

Powell began his career at Sheffield Wednesday and is a former team-mate of Jamie Vardy at Stocksbridge Park Steels.

He is still local to the Sheffield area and a lot of his contacts are around the city. It is therefore no surprise that his first four recruits are predominately from clubs in that area.

Powell has signed Matty Ord from Hallam, Royale Johnson from Frickley Athletic and Danny Ramsey and Reece Treasure from Sheffield FC.

Town's friendly games begin with the visit of FC Halifax Town.

The Shaymen, who are back at the top table of non-League football following their promotion from Vanarama National League North, will visit the Dual Seal Stadium on Saturday, July 8.

Brighouse Town's full friendly list: FC Halifax Town (H) July 8, Worksop Town (H) July 14, Shaw Lane (H) July 18, Bridlington Town (A) July 22, Penistone Church (A) July 24, Eccleshill United (A) July 26, Barton Town (H) August 1, Basford Utd (A) August 5.
