Former Halifax Town defender Dave German has joined Unibond Premier League Division One North newcomers Curzon Ashton.

The 33 year old, who played for Hyde United last season, is set to make his debut at the weekend in Curzon Ashton's friendly against Manchester City reserves.

German made 106 league appearances scoring 6 goals in the early 1990's.

Meanwhile Hyde have strengthened their squad with the capture of former York City and Halifax Town midfielder Chris Brass.

The 31 year old, who celebrates his birthday a week on Tuesday, was released by League Two side Bury last season.

Brass made 6 appearances in the 2000/01 season.

Former Halifax Town goalkeeper Mark Cartwright has joined Unibond League Division One South side Alsager Town.

He made 32 league appearances for the Shaymen in the 2003/04 season.

Former Sheff Wed and Halifax Town striker Grant Holt is set to have clear the air talks with current club Notts Forest.

"When Grant is back from the training camp in Austria, we will meet with Mark Arthur regarding his future," Holt's agent Lee Payne told the Nottingham Evening Post.

"We are hopeful, because at least we're talking.

"Grant wants to stay and see Forest promoted. That would be a great achievement and that's been his point of view all along.

"The only reason he did what he did was because of the way the club was towards him at the end of last season."

Holt made 6 appearances for Town in the 1999/01 seasons.
