New Hyde United boss Michael Clegg has moved swiftly to make two new additions to his Tigers squad.

The club have announced the return of talented defender Scott Duxbury, who joins on another short-term loan from Bury. 

The left-back had a short spell at Ewen Fields earlier this season under the recently departed Martin Coyne, making a total of six appearances. 

Duxbury comes in on an initial 28-day loan, and will be in contention for Saturday’s home clash with Warrington Rylands. 

As will goalkeeper Yusuf Mersin, who has been recalled from his loan spell at Runcorn Linnets.

The former Turkey U18 international returns to Ewen Fields less than two weeks after making the switch to Linnets, where he made a single appearance. 

Mersin will look to regain his number one spot under Clegg after falling out of favour under the previous regime.
