Another in at Belle Vue

RHYL Football Club has provided further proof of its lofty ambitions this season by signing two top class players with experience at Premiership and Football League clubs.
Defender Greg Strong has now been joined by striker Matthew Williams, 25, who has become the latest impressive additions to the Lilywhites squad for 2008/09.
Williams, who hails from Denbigh and is a Wales Under-21 international, joined Manchester United as a 16-year-old and spent five years at Old Trafford, establishing himself as a key player in the reserves although never quite breaking into the elite first team.
From 2004-2006 he played for League Two club Notts County before switching to Conference club Tamworth.
Last season he was loaned out to Burton Albion, who lost out narrowly in the Conference National end of season play-offs in May.
"''A few Conference and League of Wales clubs showed an interest in signing me, but I chose Rhyl because they have treated me so fantastically well,"'' said Williams. ''They are a very friendly club full of ambition. I am 100% committed to Rhyl now and hope to help take them to the next level."'
Recent signing Greg Strong told the website ''I've played in the English Premiership and Scottish Premiership - now I'm looking forward to playing in the Welsh Premiership,"'' he said. ''I think I've played in just about every league in England and hope the experience I bring to Rhyl will help them achieve their goals in the season ahead.
''There is a great atmosphere at the club; you can really sense there is something good on the horizon here."
Williams and Strong, who made his debut in Tuesday night's friendly against Colwyn Bay, join an already impressive list of close season captures which include ex-Wrexham men Neil Roberts, Jamie Reed and Gareth Owen, plus Porthmadog striker Carl Owen.
