QUAKERS SIGN MELLANBY

DARLINGTON have swooped to sign Danny Mellanby from Unibond League side Bishop Auckland.

The midfield youngster impressed during last season as Bishops reached two cup finals and finished third in the league, and The Quakers have signed him on a one-year deal.

Director of Football Luke Raine said: "We think that Danny has got the ability to play at Football League level, and we are sure that we can help him make the grade.

"It`s a big step up, but we think he can make the transition. We think he can do a job for us, especially in the position he plays behind the front two."

Mellanby could prove to be a shrewd addition, as he has scored goals for every team he has played for - netting 28 last term.
