Tolley and Lunt - Profiles

Here are profiles of the two new signings confirmed this afternoon:

Jamie Tolley - Born on the 12th May 1983, Tolley is a former Welsh Under 21 international who started his career with Shrewsbury Town after being born in the Shropshire town of Ludlow. At just 16 years and 193 days, Tolley made his debut for Shrewsbury and went onto make 181 appearences for the Shrews scoring 17 times. Tolley was highly rated during his time at Gay Meadow especially in their Conference season where he impressed against Hereford. Tolley however joined Macclesfield Town in 2006 for a small fee after allowing his contract to run out. His time with at Moss Rose saw him make 63 appearences netting on 3 occasions but he was blighted by injury and ineffective performances in the 2008/2009 campaign and was released by Keith Alexander. At 26, Tolley will be looking to rediscover his early form as a player and re-ignite his career at Edgar Street. At 6 foot 1, Tolley will look to dominate the midfield although he is more attacking than he is defensive.

Kenny Lunt - Born on the 20th November 1979, Lunt was one of many impressive footballers to come through the Crewe Alexandra academy. From 1997-2006, Lunt was a regular at Gresty Road making some 373 appearences scoring 35 goals. He was also joint club captain in his time at Crewe alongside Steve Foster. After much interest in Lunt over the years from clubs such as Leeds and Reading, he eventually joined Sheffield Wednesday in 2006. He only made 41 appearences for Wednesday during his three year contract and spent a short loan spell back at Crewe towards the end of the 2007/2008 season. On the 8th May of this year, he had his contract mutually terminated. Lunt is a holding midfielder with a good work-rate and good passing ability. He is also noted for being a set-piece specialist whilst in 2002/2003, he was top of League One's assist tally.
