In the lower divisions, Paul Mardon will be heading to the second tier after he was snapped up by Oldham United for 300 thousand pounds.

One player who won't been seen in the top division is Frank Talia who will be down to the third division and to Rotherham club which should be a move to try and strengthen the goalkeeping duties over there.

The Welsh international is heading to Coventry for 750k.

Week 4 of the transfer business saw another million pound signing with the 21-year-old player in Paul Kitson being signed to Aston Villa for 1.3 million pounds.
