24-2-10: Dagenham & Redbridge have snapped up Plymouth Argyle midfielder Yoann Folly on a month's loan.
Folly has struggled for first-team opportunities at Plymouth this season and has featured just seven times for the Championship club.
The former France Under 21 international will now spend a month with the Daggers and is likely to be in the squad for Saturday's game against League Two strugglers Grimsby Town.
The deal for Folly is Daggers boss John Still's second raid on Home Park in recent weeks after he signed full-back Damien McCrory for a five-figure fee.
Meanwhile, Still has lauded his side after the Daggers recovered from two goals down to win 3-2 at Aldershot on Tuesday night.
Still said: "It was an absolutely fantastic comeback. We showed a great desire to get back into the game and I am delighted.
"After getting back to 2-2 we could have settled for a draw, but that is not our style. We are a very young side and we chance our arm - sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't. But you will never get rid of the Dagenham spirit."
25-7-10: Mark McGhee has bolstered his Aberdeen squad after wrapping up deals for Scott Vernon and Yoann Folly.
The pair are the club's fourth and fifth signings of the summer following the arrivals of Rory McArdle, Josh Magennis and Mark Howard.
Ex-Plymouth midfielder Folly has been on trial for a number of weeks and has impressed McGhee in pre-season outings.
Vernon featured for Colchester last season and has now joined after passing a medical late on Sunday night.
The 26-year-old, who has also played for Oldham and Blackpool, goes straight into Aberdeen's squad to face Port Vale on Tuesday.
