STUDLEY have signed Dan Povey from Coventry Sphinx ahead of Saturday's trip to Heather St John in Midlands Division One (3pm ko).

Manager Kevin Kingham is hoping to bolster his squad of 17 players over the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, the Bees played their first game in three weeks on Boxing Day and went down 3-1 to title-chasing Bromsgrove Sporting.

Dan Dineen had bagged an equaliser after Sean Brain had fired the Rouslers ahead.

But substitutes Will Tibbetts and Reece Hewitt scored for the hosts.

Kingham said: “Considering we hadn’t played for three weeks and were rusty we did well.

“We couldn’t go up through the gears but that was understandable.”
