Lee Bell is nearing the end of his third full season as Crewe Alexandra boss having taken over in November 2022

Crewe Alexandra manager Lee Bell says he does not expect to be making a lot of permanent signings in the summer as they prepare for another season in League Two.

Despite a number of key players missing large parts of the campaign through injury - including on-loan striker Emre Tezgel - Bell kept the Alex in contention for a play-off place.

Those hopes were only ended with defeat by MK Dons in their third-from-final game of the season.

Bell has already said he wants more options in his squad next season but knows that will come from temporary signings.
