Stanley look to US

Accrington hope to link up with an American side based in Atlantic City. The new team is being set up by former Bury and Burnley player Matt Driver, who was previously a coach at MLS side New England Revolution and who met up with Stanley boss John Coleman and assistant Jimmy Bell on a recent trip to England. Bell told the Lancashire Telegraph: "Matt is someone we know and he came over from Atlantic City the other week. The way clubs are set up over there is a lot different and he is involved with a few teams, so we have talked about the possibility of an affiliation. "It might be visa-wise in terms of getting players over here, plus we might be able to send a few scholars over there. And if we could get a first-team player out of it one day, that would be great."
