Chorley striker Steve Burke and midfielder Lee Shillito have joined North West Counties side Rossendale United.

The pair join up with form Magpies midfielder Chris Brookes, who recently took over at the troubled Dark Lane club.

Burkey has already made an impact since being signed.

He netted three goals in his first two appearances.

The Stags almost went out of business recently and had three games postponed by the league.

Brookes stepped into the breach and in two difficult matches against teams at the top end of the table they recorded a 4-4 draw with Winsford United then went down 2-5 against Padiham.
