"Cody has got tremendous potential and he fits the type of the person we want around the place. He’s a good size, got a great work ethic and wants to learn.

"This is an opportunity for Dale, who knows he’s got work to do, but we all saw last time what he can do – he lifted the team and contributed to some good results.

"Churchy is a really top lad, a good player and can score goals. He will add tremendous quality to our team.”

Church said: “I’m excited to be here. With everything in place here, it was the perfect move for me and the ambition of the club is massive and I wanted to be a part of that.”
