Manny Major joins Bedford Town
Despite no game on Saturday, it has been a busy week for Bedford Town who announced the signing of Emmanuel 'Manny' Maja, who has joined to strengthen Lee Bircham’s midfield options.
Maja arrives at The Eyrie, having spent this season at fellow Enterprise National League North side King's Lynn Town.
The 24-year old midfielder comes with a reputation for power, athleticism and directness in the final third and adds valuable depth as the fixtures come thick and fast.
Having began his career with Croydon, Maja has had spells with Welling United, Enfield and Tonbridge Angels.
In 2023 he joined Banbury United, scoring four goals in 30 games for the Puritans and earning a move to Step One side Aldershot Town.
Meanwhile, striker Shaun Jeffers has joined Farnborough FC on a one-month loan deal.
Jeffers has found opportunities limited so far this season, featuring sporadically and scoring once.
The move offers him the chance to secure regular minutes and build sharpness with a Farnborough side competing in the National League South.
The loan allows Jeffers to continue his development and return to the Eyrie in strong form for the remainder of the campaign.
Eagles' Lewis Coyle has extended his loan with Kettering Town until February.
Coyle, who joined the Poppies earlier this season to gain valuable senior minutes, will remain at Latimer Park through the next stage of their campaign.
Bedford have also been able to finally officially register midfielder Rob Howard, marking the end of a long and determined road back to football After an ACL injury.
The Bedfordshire Senior Cup semi-final draw has been made and Eagles have drawn Biggleswade Town at home.
Following a pitch inspection on Saturday morning, Real Bedford's home clash against Bromsgrove Sporting was postponed, so attention now turns to this Saturday's trip to Spalding United.
