Accrington Stanley to complete Joyce signing

ACCRINGTON Stanley are set to complete their second signing of the summer after Luke Joyce opted to join the Reds rather than Darlington.

The 20-year-old Bolton-born midfielder was released by Carlisle last month and had been offered a more lucrative deal at Darlington.

But he is now expected to join Stanley in the next couple of days after deciding he wanted to move to a north west club.

Joyce’s arrival will come just days after the Reds signed 19-year-old centre back Dean Winnard on a one-year contract following his release from Blackburn Rovers.
