Here are my top 15 signings by third tier clubs so far, in reverse order of excellence.
Transfers completed up to and including July 9.
5. CURTIS TILT
Veteran centre-back who was rock solid in the successful Bradford City side last season. It's a good pick-up for a club of Burton Albion's size. Photo: Pete Norton
6. STEVE COOK
Experienced centre-back who held his own at Championship level with QPR last season. Now at Wycombe Wanderers. Photo: Richard Pelham
7. DAN BARLASAR
He's been a strong midfielder in League One before and could be again for MK Dons after leaving Middlesbrough. Photo: George Wood
8. ALFIE MAY
Doncaster Rovers could be promotion dark horses next season as they've been doing good business in the transfer marker. Striker Alfie May from Huddersfield Town is the pick of them. He will be hungry for goals after a lean campaign in 2025-26. Photo: Cameron Smith
