Lively Oldham Athletic winger Chris Taylor scored twice in the second half to give Oldham Athletic their second successive league victory at Elland Road.

Taylor scored with a close-range shot after Lee Hughes’ header came back off the bar.

For his second goal he cut in from the left and curled the ball into Ankergren’s far corner.

New signings since last season are in bold.

No one seems to have wanted the number 13 shirt!

Tomi Ameobi has been invited to newly-promoted Championship side Doncaster Rovers for trial.

Tomi recently signed a new Leeds United contract.

Ameobi spent ten games on loan at Scunthorpe United in the Championship last season between November 2007 and January 2008. He made 9 league sub appearances and 1 FA Cup sub appearance.

It is not clear yet whether Doncaster Rovers are looking for loan or a permanent move.

However with Leeds being linked with new strikers everyday Ameobi knows he is not in the frame for the starting line up during the forthcoming season at Elland Road.

Former Leeds United striker Rob Hulse has completed his move from Championship side Sheffield United to recently relegated Derby County.

Twenty-nine year old Hulse signed a three-year contract today.

The fee is £1.75 million representing a loss on the £2.2 million that the Blades paid Leeds United two years ago in July 2006.

Derby manager Paul Jewell believes the 29-year-old will be valuable addition to the squad.

“This is a terrific capture for us and I am really excited to have added a player of Rob Hulse’s calibre to our squad,” Jewell said on Derby’s official website.

“Rob is a player I’ve admired for a very long time and tried to sign on more than one occasion in the past.

“He has tremendous attributes as a forward; strong, brave, athletic and an eye for goal.

“His attitude is also first-class and he is hungry to return to the highest level and to do it with Derby County.

“It barely took any persuading to get Rob to join Derby County. He knows this is a huge club with great ambition and his ambition and desire matches ours.”

In a disasterous Premier League campaign last season (2007-08), Derby County netted just 20 times and ended up with a humiliating -69 goal difference.

Hulse score 8 goals in 41 league and FA Cup outings for Sheffield United.
