Northwich Victoria boss Alvin McDonald has begun to make his mark on the Wincham Park squad ahead of the FA Cup first round trip to Kidderminster Harriers.
McDonald signed ex-Harriers forward Hugh McAuley, Shrewsbury Town midfielder Karl Murray and former Morecambe defender Paul McGuire before last weekend's 1-0 loss at Barnet.
Now all three men will try and help the Vics create a shock at Aggborough, with McDonald happy with his new arrivals.
He told the Northwich Chronicle: "This is a winnable game. They are second from bottom in the Third Division and having regular off days.
"Karl is a Val Owen-type and is with us for a month initially and hopefully he will want to stay and we can afford him. It may be significant that Jimmy Quinn has no objection to him being cup-tied.
"Our outlay at the moment has been negligible because McGuire and McAuley played without any mention of money."
