Newton Aycliffe striker Elliott Gardner has agreed to move to league leaders West Auckland.
West submitted seven days notice of approach last week, and after talks with manager Peter Dixon, Gardner has agreed to join West.
Gardner scored 18 goals in Aycliffe's second division title campaign last season, and has added to those with another nine in the first division this season.
However, he will be unable to play in the Vase, ashe has already played for Aycliffe in the competition.
