DARLINGTON have been involved in two pieces of transfer activity today, with one player leaving the club and another joining.
Arran Wearmouth has left the club on a permanent basis, joining Northern League title hopefuls West Auckland where he has been on loan for a month.
His exit provides a small financial boost as Quakers have received a fee for his services having signed him on a free transfer in May 2016 from Blyth Spartans.
A major injury, however, meant Wearmouth was out for most of the campaign played only briefly towards the end of last season, so was unable to give a full account of his abilities.
Joining Darlington from the Northern League is teenage defender Jack Vaulks, who has signed a two-year contract and goes straight into the squad that travels tomorrow to Southport.
He has been playing for Crook Town, a club he joined in January from Esh Winning.
He has also represented the Durham County under-18s, in the same team as Quakers midfielder Dale Milburn.
