The Alex will face the likes of West Bromwich Albion, Rotherham United and Barnsley whilst facing the usual local non-league sides.

The boss went on to say: "We are really pleased with the pre-season programme that has been now finalised. On consecutive Saturday’s we’ve got Barnsley away at their training ground because it is early on in pre-season and their pitch won’t be ready. Then back at our place we’ve got West Brom."

He ended with: "We’ve got some really good non-league teams that we are going to visit early on in the schedule to allow the players to get back into playing mode again. There is a lot of variety there and whilst allowing us to try things and work on lots of different challenges."
