Fleetwood Town have signed defender Jake Batty on a two-year deal after his release by Swindon Town earlier this summer.
The 21-year-old came through Blackburn Rovers' academy and had a spell on loan with Accrington Stanley, making 25 appearances.
He then joined Swindon earlier this year and made 17 appearances at the tail end of the season on a short-term deal.
Batty's arrival comes alongside that of goalkeeper James Pradic and midfielder Noah Mawene, who joins from Preston North End.
Noah Mawene made three appearances on loan with Southend United last season
Pradic, 21, spent five years with North End but did not make a senior appearance for the club.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Mawene made nine senior appearances for Preston and also spent time on loan with Newport County and Southend United.
He will now join Fleetwood's sister club Waterford on loan until the end of the current League of Ireland season.
