Southport captain Simon Grand has joined AFC Telford, re-uniting him with former Sandgrounders boss Liam Watson.

The 29-year-old defender played 84 games for Southport in two seasons at the Merseyrail Community Stadium.

But after Watson's move to the Bucks last week, the out-of-contract former Rochdale trainee has decided to join up with his ex-boss.

He is the second player to follow Watson from Southport to New Bucks Head, following winger Sean Clancy.
