News from elsewhere around League Two
JOHN STILL DEPARTS…John Still this week ended his run as the Football League's longest serving manager when leaving Dagenham & Redbridge after more than eight years to replace Paul Buckle at Blue Square Premier Luton Town.
The 62-year-old was in the stand at Braintree Town on Tuesday night to watch as his new charges suffered a 2-0 reverse after signing a two-and-a-half-year deal.
Still, who embarked on his second spell as manager of the Daggers in 2004, led them to promotion to the Football League in 2007 and won the League Two play-offs three years ago.
He had also been in charge when Maidstone United won a place in the Football League back in 1989.
Meanwhile back at the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham Stadium assistant manager Wayne Burnett has been placed in interim charge until the end of the season.
TORQUAY BRING IN ALAN KNILL…
Ahead of last weekend’s fixtures, Alan Knill was named the interim manager at Torquay until the end of the season while permanent boss Martin Ling is on sick leave.
The 48-year-old has been out a job since his departure from League One Scunthorpe United back in October.
LEAGUE TWO MOVES…
Accrington Stanley have completed the signing of DR Congo international Amine Linganzi on a free transfer. The 23-year-old was released by Lancashire neighbours Blackburn Rovers in January, having made just a handful of appearances
Midfielder Linganzi, who had a spell on loan at Preston in 2011, has signed for the rest of the season and made his debut against Cheltenham last Saturday when replacing James Beattie in the 74th minute.
Cardiff City youngster Jesse Darko has signed an initial one-month loan deal at AFC Wimbledon. Dons boss Neal Ardley knows the 19-year-old from his time at the Bluebirds' academy, but the Austrian-born striker has not made a senior appearance for Cardiff.

Cheltenham Town have extended the loan deal of 20-year-old Michael Hector by a further month. The Reading defender first joined the Robins in January and he has now extended his stay until at least March having made seven appearances so far.
Ahead of the Gills visit to the Proact Stadium last weekend Chesterfield signed Barnsley midfielder Jordan Clark and Manchester City winger Alex Henshall on one-month loan deals.
Both players made their debuts as second-half substitutes as Gillingham registered their record-breaking win on Saturday.
