Huddersfield Town midfielder Jonathan Hogg and defender Martin Cranie have signed new one-year deals.

Hogg, 27, made 24 appearances this season before a knee injury ruled him out for the season run-in while Cranie, 29, played 39 times.
The Terriers have released midfielder Karim Matmour, 30, and strikers Ishmael Miller, 29, and James Vaughan, 27, have all been released.
Youngsters Duane Holmes, Lloyd Allinson, Joe Wilkinson also leave.


Zlatan Ibrahimovic will leave Paris St-Germain at the end of the season.

The 34-year-old Sweden striker's contract with the French champions expires in the summer, and he has been linked with Manchester United, Los Angeles Galaxy and AC Milan.
"I am very proud," he said. "I came like a king, I leave like a legend but I will be back."
PSG said Ibrahimovic leaves as "the greatest striker and one of the very best players in the club's history".
Ibrahimovic is the club's record goalscorer despite only joining the club in 2012, his 152 goals coming in 178 appearances.
PSG have won Ligue 1 in every season Ibrahimovic has been at the club, wrapping up the title this season with two months to spare.
"I loved every day I spent here," said Ibrahimovic, who has won league titles with six different clubs. "Paris St-Germain has become a star club in the world and I played a key role moving it forward. It is now the right time for me to take a different path."
PSG host Nantes in Ligue 1 on Saturday before meeting Marseille in the French Cup final on 21 May.
An agreement is in place for Ibrahimovic to return to the club at the end of his playing career, with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi saying he is "looking forward to the prospect of working with him again".
Ibrahimovic finished as top scorer in France in 2012-13 and 2013-14, and leads Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette by 15 goals this season.
He has also been included in the Ligue 1 team of the year in all of his four seasons in France.


The PSNI is to investigate claims made in a book about the murder of a former UDR soldier by the Real IRA.

David Caldwell died after picking up a lunchbox packed with explosives at a TA base in Londonderry in 2002.
A former soldier claimed in a recent book that the bombers were under surveillance in the days leading up to the attack.
That claim will now be reviewed by the PSNI's Legacy Investigation Branch (LIB).
Detectives from the LIB are said to be currently investigating more than 1,000 cases.
Mr Caldwell was involved in refurbishing activities at Caw army camp when he was critically injured in the Real IRA blast.
The 51-year-old father of four later died at Altnagelvin Hospital.
In a letter seen by the BBC, the PSNI have written to the DUP MP Gregory Campbell to confirm that a review will take place.
"The book's content is undoubtedly alarming for Mr Caldwell's family," the police said.
"PSNI Legacy Investigation Branch is currently considering whether other material exists which together with the book may create an investigative line of enquiry.
"Unfortunately we cannot give you a timescale for the work at this stage, as it needs to be sequenced with more than 1,000 cases that are currently within the remit of the LIB," the police added.
The PSNI also pointed out that since the original investigation into Mr Caldwell's murder, his case had been reviewed by officers from the Serious Crime Review Team but that "no further opportunities were found to exist at that time".
Speaking to the News Letter on Monday, Gregory Campbell said he was hopeful the investigation would be carried out quickly.
"I would hope that this process can be conducted as quickly as possible given the ongoing pain the Caldwell family suffer whilst they await the conclusion of the process," he said.
In October, members of David Caldwell's family met First Minister Arlene Foster and the Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt to discuss questions raised by the book.
Mavis McFaul, his former partner, told the BBC at the time that the family wanted answers.
"It is pretty hurtful that some man knows details about Davy's death and couldn't come forward before this," she said.
"There's evidence the police have (more detail) and they're not releasing it until we get another inquest into the murder."


Retailer Watt Brothers has announced plans to create 350 new jobs by opening six new stores and expanding three others over the next few years.

The company currently employs 500 people at premises in Glasgow, Robroyston, Livingston, Ayr, Clarkston, Hamilton, Lanark and Clydebank.
The expansion plans include new stores in Port Glasgow and Irvine, while other locations are "in negotiation".
Existing stores in Clarkston, Ayr and Livingston will also be enlarged.
The family-owned business, which is currently celebrating its centenary, has forecast a turnover of between Â£25m and Â£30m in 2015.
Its sells a wide range of products, including clothing and accessories, housewares, jewellery, watches, books, toys and confectionery.
Owner Willie Watt said: "Our business has changed dramatically since it first opened its doors in Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street, when the focus was exclusively on high-end ladies' fashions.
"We have evolved as a business and recognised that a retail offer including a wider range of great value products in a department store-style setting has greater appeal to today's consumer.
"We've seen positive growth in terms of both turnover and customer numbers, even in the recent recessionary period, and we've continued our expansion in terms of new store openings.
"My long-term plan is to have a total of 16 stores throughout Scotland, and we're constantly looking at new opportunities to secure ideal locations."


Bollywood star Salman Khan's fans are jubilant after a Mumbai court suspended his five-year jail sentence over a 2002 hit-and-run case, but others feel justice has been denied.

The Mumbai high court on Friday suspended Khan's sentence, pending his appeal. He was convicted on Wednesday by a lower court of culpable homicide.
In September 2002, Khan's car ran over five people sleeping on a Mumbai street, killing a homeless man and injuring four others. Khan claims he was not behind the wheels.
Khan is one of the most bankable stars in Bollywood with a huge fan base. He has appeared in more than 80 Hindi-language films.
Several of his films, including Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aap Ke Hain Kaun, have been huge commercial hits.
Indian TV news channels have showed the actor's fans cheering outside his house in Mumbai.
The actor's fans on Twitter were quick to welcome the decision.
Another user highlighted the fact that Khan has been involved in many charity efforts over the years.
Many, however, appeared critical of the court's decision, saying that the poor in India do not get legal processing with such speed.
Some users have also questioned how the court suspended Khan's sentence so quickly when it took 13 years for a lower court to declare him guilty.
Many others have expressed disappointment at the court's decision, calling it a "sad day" for Indian judiciary.

When news broke that Anzhi Makhachkala, the billionaire-backed Russian Premier League club, were cutting their budget and selling their top players, many journalists - myself included - thought it was a late April fool.

But this was no joke. In the hours that followed a series of announcements, each more puzzling than the other, confirmed "The Anzhi Project", at least as we previously knew it, was coming to an end. Suleyman Kerimov, Anzhi's billionaire backer since January 2011, was no longer happy to finance a gravy train.
The club's budget, officially quoted at an extravagant £116m per season (second only to Zenit St Petersburg in Russia), was to be reduced to between £32m and £45m.
Rene Meulensteen, formerly Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant at Manchester United and the man hand-picked by predecessor Guus Hiddink to manage the club, lost his job after just 16 days. And a host of players, foreign and Russian, bought for extravagant fees over the past two and a half years, were to be shipped out post-haste.
The football media naturally looks for footballing reasons for Kerimov's sudden about-face - and there are several.
After finishing in third place last season, hopes were high of a title push, but Anzhi have begun the campaign in disappointing fashion, losing two and drawing two of their opening four games.
An official statement said as much, stating that "having analysed the club's recent sporting results, the decision has been taken to work on a new long-term strategy for the club".
Rumours have been rife of training-ground bust-ups ever since Meulensteen was handed the manager's job just over a fortnight ago. There were reports that a rift between newly signed Russia captain Igor Denisov and £130,000-per-week striker Samuel Eto'o, with Meulensteen caught in the middle, had destroyed the Dutchman's authority.
There are apparent precedents here, with Eto'o's alleged unwillingness to work with previous Anzhi coaches Gadzhi Gadzhiev and Yury Krasnozhan seeing them leave. Ironically - and this could spell the end for Eto'o too - Gadzhiev is widely tipped to replace Meulensteen.
But events on the field only provide a partial explanation for Anzhi's sudden dismantling of more than two years of hard work and investment. Speculation about the personal affairs of owner Kerimov has dominated the headlines in Russia in recent days.
Though rumours the 47-year-old is suffering from ill-health have been denied, what is not in question is that another of the oligarch's main business interests, potash producer Uralkali, has had a rocky few days.
Only last week it was announced the company had severed a trade agreement with a Belarusian company, ending a cartel which had effectively fixed prices and guaranteed a steady flow of income to Uralkali and Kerimov, whose fortune was said to be in excess of £4bn in March.
In the hours after the announcement £5.5bn was wiped off the company's value, with Kerimov losing some £325m in net worth, although the share price has since recovered. Kerimov's representatives are drawing no connections between Uralkali's woes and Anzhi, but the coincidence of events seems instructive.
How things play out for the remainder of the season and beyond remains an open question. But while many are already writing Anzhi's obituaries, club president Konstantin Remchukov insists Kerimov "is still in control of the club" and will remain its chief financial backer.
And several commentators and fans have greeted the change of policy with relief.
"Having spent £290m, all Kerimov has done is enriched a bunch of speculators," Alisher Aminov, a former board member of the Russian Football Union, said.
Fans have reacted in a similar fashion, with the webpage of Wild Division, the club's supporters organisation, peppered with positive comments.
"Many of us have waited for this for a long time," a user named Gubden wrote. "What difference does it make which players are on our side? The most important thing is that they wear our colours and we support them," another, Maga Pitersky, added.
What is certainly true is that Anzhi will now have to turn towards homegrown talent.
They may finally return to Dagestan; the players currently live and train in Moscow, flying the 800 miles to Makhachkala only for home games.
And even with a budget of £32-£45m, they can certainly compete for the Russian league's European places.
But the days of excess, of Eto'o's enormous contract, of the Bugatti Veyron given to former player Roberto Carlos as a present, and of Anzhi's £24m game of tug-of-war with QPR over Christopher Samba, are now most certainly consigned to the past.


Botswana's court of appeal has upheld a ruling that foreign prisoners should receive free treatment for HIV/Aids, rights lawyers say.

Foreign prisoners were previously expected to pay for their own medication, unlike local inmates.
Two HIV-positive prisoners had challenged the government's refusal to pay for their anti-retrovirals (ARVs).
The UN estimates that about 25% of people aged between 15 and 49 are HIV-positive in Botswana.
A year ago the High Court ruled in favour of the two prisoners and the Botswana Network on Ethics, Law and HIV/Aids (Bonela), which backed their case.
But the state appealed against the decision.
According to the legal rights group Southern Africa Litigation Centre (SALC), the appeal court ordered that the treatment for foreign prisoners begin immediately and that free HIV testing also be offered.
"The judgment marks a decisive victory for public health in Botswana and the region. We look forward to the government taking immediate steps to roll out treatment to those prisoners falling within the treatment gap," Bonela's Phazha Molebatsi said in a statement.
Foreign prisoners made up more than 14% of Botswana's prison population in 2013, the International Centre for Prison Studies says.


Lithuania's Ruta Meilutyte broke the 100m breaststroke world record in the World Championship semi-finals.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Plymouth-based 16-year-old clocked one minute 04.30 seconds in Barcelona, 0.15 secs faster than the previous best time set by Jessica Hardy in 2009.
Earlier, Meilutyte had recorded 1:04.52 in qualifying, the second-fastest time in history and a new European record.
In the 200m individual medley final, Sophie Allen was seventh and fellow Briton Siobhan-Marie O'Connor eighth.
London 2012 Olympic champion Meilutyte will seek to win Lithuania's first ever World Championships gold medal in Tuesday's final.

"I'll be have a relaxing day tomorrow and will save all my energy for the final," she said.
"My biggest aim is accomplished now and I'll give it my best shot in the final. Obviously, a gold medal would be a cherry on top of the ice cream."
Her coach Jon Rudd said: "It feels a bit surreal, but now I remember the feeling of the Olympic gold medal because it's kind of the same.
"The plan was to go for the world record tonight because we don't want to have to worry about times tomorrow - just the medal.
"[Russian rival] Yuliya Efimova will push her so she'll her need to be on her toes tomorrow, but I think there's more to come."
Briton O'Connor only reached the 200m individual medley final after Australian Emily Seebohm pulled out in order to concentrate on her preferred 100m backstroke event, but the 17-year-old found herself in second place at the halfway stage.
However, she faded in the second half to finish eighth in a race which was won by Hungary's Katinka Hosszu. Olympic champion Ye Shiwen surprisingly only managed to come fourth.
"I just need to learn how to swim it better," said O'Connor. "I keep doing that - going out too fast - and I definitely think I got a bit excited with it being a final."
Compatriot Allen, 21, added: "I'm disappointed I wasn't able to make a personal best like I did in the semi-final."
"It's amazing, it's so much fun and so incredible to see the youth that this sport has and that it will continue to have. It's so awesome being a part of it and being a part of this whole experience as it's happening."
US Olympic champion Missy Franklin, 18, on teenage successes
"If I'd have done that time again [2:10.23], I'd have been in fourth place but hopefully as it's my first major international final I'll be better in the future."
Scottish Commonwealth champion Robbie Renwick qualified with the fourth quickest time of 1:46.95 heading into the final of the 200m freestyle event on Tuesday and hopes to win Britain's first medal of the championships.
"I have a good lane for tomorrow night and it'll be anyone's race so I've got to get myself in a good position and really try to go for a medal," said the 25-year-old, who will face US star Ryan Lochte in the final.
Chris Walker-Hebborn, 23, and Lauren Quigley, 20, both missed out on places in their respective 100m backstroke finals, but each return to compete over 200m later in the week.
In the evening's other finals, Australia's Christian Sprenger claimed 100m breaststroke gold with South Africa's Cameron Van Der Burgh second and Felipe Lima of Brazil third.
Victory went to Sarah Sjostrom of Sweden in the 100m butterfly ahead of Australia's Alicia Coutts and US Olympic champion Dana Vollmer.
Brazilian Cesar Cielo won the 50m butterfly final.
There was frustration for Britain's Ben Proud, who did not reach the final, but would have claimed bronze with the British record of 23.10 he set at last month's trials.


Eighteen people have been convicted of abusing girls in Newcastle who were plied with alcohol and drugs before being forced to have sex.

The vulnerable victims, some as young as 14, were exploited by a "cynical organisation", a court heard.
The 17 men and one woman were convicted of rape, supplying drugs and conspiracy to incite prostitution.
Over the course of four trials, 20 young women gave evidence covering a period from 2011 to 2014.
These trials involved 26 defendants, who were mostly Asian, facing a total of more than 100 charges and 22 victims.
Those prosecuted were from the Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian, Iraqi, Iranian and Turkish communities and mainly British-born, with most living in the West End of Newcastle.
Of the 26, three people have been jailed. The rest will be sentenced next month.
It also emerged during the court process that police paid a convicted child rapist Â£10,000 as an informant.
The victims were at first flattered by the attention of the men who apparently befriended them, but were then lured to parties, known as "sessions", by the promise of alcohol and drugs - often mephedrone (or M-Kat), Newcastle Crown Court heard.
Bags of M-Kat were left on coffee tables for the girls to help themselves.
The parties took place at premises around the West End, including the top floor of tower block Todd's Nook, where one teenager said she was raped three times.
The prosecution said they became the "vulnerable victims of an organised, cynical, systematic organisation in which they were passed between their abusers."
Some spoke of being "too intoxicated" to defend themselves, while others became addicted and had to commit sexual acts in return for drugs.
One victim said she had attended about 60 parties and another told of going to an address where there were two older men and a woman, who seemed "frightened and scared, like a slave".
She said: "They told us what she would do for them for money and drugs or she'd get battered."
Another victim said: "I knew that if we wanted drugs or alcohol we would have to do something.
"[He] had us too intoxicated to fight him off. One time, [he] locked the door. I was told I would only be allowed out if I had sex."
Northumbria Police set up Operation Sanctuary in December 2013 to investigate claims of sexual abuse against girls and young women.
The investigation is ongoing and to date has resulted in 461 arrests. Police have spoken to 703 potential complainants and 278 victims have been identified.
Due to its size, the investigation was split into a number of spin-off operations.
Operation Shelter uncovered groups of men in the West End of Newcastle - many of whom were known to each other - who exploited vulnerable young women and girls over a period from 2010 to 2014.
This eventually led to four separate trials, the first commencing in September 2015 and the final one which has just concluded, allowing previous reporting restrictions to be lifted.
Chris Jackson, BBC Inside Out in the North East and Cumbria
Sarah (not her real name) was 19, extremely vulnerable and unable to look after herself.
Along with other at-risk teenagers she was regularly abused by older men.
In the new year of 2014, Sarah told the police she had been raped by Abdul Minoyee.
A police officer took Sarah on a tour of the West End to try identify Minoyee's house and car and other places where these "parties" had taken place.
Sarah's information was a red flag - the abuse was on a much bigger scale.
The detective in charge of Sarah's case told his bosses that what she had said signalled something much bigger.
Days later the officer's hunch was given added weight when two girls in care reported that they had been repeatedly raped by a group of older Asian men.
The girls were aged 14 and 15.
They described being driven into Newcastle where they were plied with alcohol and cocaine before being raped and beaten by several men.
They were given money before being returned home.
One of the victims was in local authority care at the time. Newcastle City Council has launched a serious case review that is due to be published in December.
Council leader Nick Forbes said: "These were vile crimes committed by evil men.
"The victims ... have been brave beyond belief and undoubtedly have made our city safer."
Chief Constable Steve Ashman said: "We have not and will not stop.
"There has been no political correctness here. These are criminals and there has been no hesitation in arresting them and targeting them using all the means at our disposal."
Now that reporting restrictions can be lifted, it can be revealed that a police officer was sacked for failing to investigate a sex offender's phone.
It related to an earlier Operation Sanctuary investigation, which resulted in the conviction of Bahmani Ahmadi.
Mr Ashman said the officer should have been much more diligent, and that his dismissal should provide reassurance that the police culture in Northumbria had changed.

Jordan Spieth insists it is too soon to say he is part of a new "big three" succeeding Tiger Woods in dominating world golf.

After a season in which the 22-year-old triumphed at the Masters and US Open, he has inevitably been bracketed with four-time major champion Rory McIlroy and US PGA winner Jason Day in the vanguard of the game.
They are the top three players in the world with current number one Day the oldest at the tender age of 27.
"I think it's a bit soon," Spieth told BBC Sport when asked if he along with Day and McIlroy were filling the vacuum left by the ailing Woods.
"I think for Rory it's a bit different because he's been consistent for a number of years now.
"We've played solid golf for the past few years but in order to create an era you almost need a decade like this to really make a difference.
"We have the potential to do it, but this was the first year of it," added Spieth, who won five times in the 2015 PGA Tour season.
The Texan believes an enduring rivalry with Day, also a five-time winner, and 26-year-old Northern Irishman McIlroy, who led the rankings at the start of a season blighted by his July ankle injury, depends on many influences.
"We are aware of it and it drives us but there's a lot of factors needed in order to create it," Spieth said.
"It may be a bit premature to say it now but I do believe there was a step needed in the right direction and it took place this year.
"And if we can ride with that it'll be significant."
Spieth begins his 2016 PGA Tour season at this week's HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai. He is returning after a three-week break following the US Presidents Cup victory in Korea.
Behind only Day in the world rankings, he did not touch a club for a fortnight before this year-ending spell in which he will play a trio of tournaments.
"My energy level is high," Spieth said. "I was able to get some rest and then over the past couple of weeks get in to the gym, trying to put weight back on and get ready for three events in what I consider my off-season."
After competing in China he will return home to the United States before defending his titles at the Australian Open and the World Challenge in the Bahamas next month.
Spieth's victories in those tournaments last year laid the foundations for his stellar performances in 2015. He said: "The off-season last year was arguably the most important couple of months in my career.
"I learned how to win and how to really close events out. How to get yourself in contention and then have the patience to be able to pull it out."
It was during the United States's victory over the Internationals at the Presidents Cup last month that he finally took stock of his level of achievement in 2015. "It's tough for me to wrap my head around what was obviously a season unlike any I've ever had," Spieth said.
"It's still so early in my career it's hard for me to compare to others. But what an exciting year it was for golf, I mean with so many young players, for golf, playing so well.
"If Rory was healthy for the whole year he would have made a bigger impact than he was able to make in a shorter season.
"And then with what Rickie Fowler did this season, breaking through with three wins and Jason and myself it was exciting.
"It was really cool," he added. "I can look back on my year but, at the same time, if I look at these other guys, who want to win just as bad as I do, it drives me a bit more."
There is every reason to suggest Spieth's career will go from strength to strength. For one so young it is also abundantly clear he possesses an extraordinary sense of perspective.
He is an accomplished ambassador, keen to say the right things and gain more than trophies from his global travels.
"It's time to travel overseas and see the impact you have and how you can grow golf around the world," he said.
"It's really special coming to China and seeing a lot of junior golfers out and about. Any impact you can have to grow the game, that's ultimately what we are all really here for.
"We obviously want to play for our own accolades but when the sun sets on your career you want to have influenced people in the right way and this is part of it."
It is too early to talk about this being a new era for the game, but if Spieth progresses in the same vein, along with McIlroy and Day, the game is in safe hands.


A compilation album made up of live performances from Glastonbury will be dedicated to Jo Cox.

The 41-year-old Labour MP was killed in her home village near Leeds on Thursday.
Oxfam had already been planning to record a live album to raise money to support their work with refugees.
The charity, which the Batley and Spen MP used to work for, has now announced it will release Stand As One - Live at Glastonbury 2016 in her memory.
When the album was first announced, the festival's co-organiser Emily Eavis said: "The scale of the refugee crisis is so huge we simply had to do something.
"We want people who are far from home and frightened to know we are doing whatever we can to help."
In a statement, Glastonbury headliners Coldplay said: "Right now there are more refugees in the world than at any other time in recent history. They could be us and we could be them."
Laura Mvula, Jack Garratt, The 1975, Editors, Years & Years, Fatboy Slim, Wolf Alice and Chvrches will also appear on the album.
Oxfam said proceeds from Stand As One - Live at Glastonbury 2016 will fund the charity's work with people forced to flee conflict, disaster and poverty.
The album will be released on 11 July.


World number five Judd Trump beat Neil Robertson 6-5 in a Masters quarter-final that featured six century breaks.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Trump produced the tournament's highest break of 140 to lead 5-4 and, after Robertson had claimed the 10th frame, won the decider with a 129.
The match was hailed as one of the greatest in Masters history by BBC commentator John Virgo.
World champion Stuart Bingham ended the challenge of John Higgins as he secured his progress with a 6-3 win.
Bingham will now play Ronnie O'Sullivan in the semi-finals, with the match starting at 19:00 GMT on Saturday.
Higgins made some unexpected mistakes which allowed Bingham to capitalise in a match which failed to match the quality of the contest between Trump and Robertson.
Robertson, ranked three in the world, hit a 139 as he recovered from 2-0 down to level at 2-2 against Trump.
Breaks of 105 and 78 helped Trump go two frames in front again, only for Robertson to once more restore parity, before Trump went on to secure victory.
"What a fantastic exhibition of snooker. One of the greatest games we have seen in Masters history, and any other tournament I've seen," said former UK Championship winner Virgo.
Trump will play Barry Hawkins at the Alexandra Palace in London in a semi-final match which starts at 13:00 GMT on Saturday.
The match-winning break started with a superb red which was cut into the middle pocket, with six-time world champion Steve Davis describing the piece of opportunism as a "chance from nothing".
England's Trump punched the air after sinking a blue, which sealed the win against Australia's UK Championship winner Robertson.
"In the first round I was really nervous. I was looking for form and when I was out there today knew I was playing well but Neil kept coming back at me," said Trump.
"As soon as that [opening red in the final frame] went in I thought don't mess up.

"If ever I am the underdog I seem to play well and whenever I am the favourite I put too much pressure on myself.

Adebayo Akinfenwa captured the nation's attention on Monday night when he scored an unlikely equaliser against Liverpool in the FA Cup third round.

But who is the man they call "The Beast"? Here are 10 things you may not know about the 32-year-old AFC Wimbledon striker.
Akinfenwa is 5ft 11in but he weighs in at a mighty 16 stone, or 102kg. That's a BMI of 31.3 or around the same body weight as England rugby hooker Tom Youngs.
He says he has always been a "naturally big guy", and has even struggled to get football teams to take him seriously.
"People said I'm too big to play football," he said. "One hundred goals later, I'm not. There are no limitations to what you want to do."
Or 396 pounds, if you prefer. That's three times the body-weight of his team-mate, midfielder Sammy Moore.
Such is his passion for lifting heavy weights, he admits that previous managers have had to "rein him in" to stop him spending too long in the gym.
Akinfenwa's strength has been recognised by the Fifa series of video games, which have deemed him the strongest footballer in the world, with a strength rating of 97 out of 100.
Akinfenwa's first professional club was FK Atlantas in Lithuania - but his time in the Baltic was not a happy one.
He received racist chants from home supporters. "Coming from London, where nobody would disrespect me, this was just brazen," he said.
Many players would have packed their bags, but Akinfenwa was resolute. "There ain't nobody going to run me out of nowhere," he said.
He may have almost scuppered their FA Cup campaign, but Akinfenwa is a big fan of Liverpool.
He says his idol as a child was John Barnes, and the lifelong Reds supporter was determined to come away from the FA Cup tie against his heroes with a memento.

"I want Steven Gerrard's shirt," he said before the match. "I've told the boys that if anyone gets his shirt before me we are going to have a problem." Unsurprisingly, he got the shirt.
Akinfenwa's brawny physique has earned him the nickname 'The Beast', but to the hulking frontman, it's more than just an epithet.
"Beast Mode On is a state of mind," he explained. "Beast Mode is about applying yourself and defying the limitations people put on you."
When he's not terrorising League Two centre-backs, Akinfenwa also finds time to run a clothing line bearing the 'Beast Mode' name.
Akinfenwa is often recognised as a footballer. Just not always as the right sort of footballer.
The striker admits he was once pulled over by a policeman who mistook him for a player in America's NFL.
Akinfenwa was happy to set the errant copper straight, telling him: "I play proper football."
Rival fans, perhaps emboldened by the presence of security personnel between the crowd and the pitch, are fond of jocularly abusing Akinfenwa from the terraces.
The big man just laughs it off, though.
"My favourite chant is 'you're just a fat Eddie Murphy'. When I heard that I could not stop laughing. I would prefer a 'muscular Eddie Murphy'." Sorry Adebayo, I don't think it's going to catch on.
During Monday night's FA Cup match, there were a whopping 39,000 tweets related to Akinfenwa.
#BeastMode was the third-most popular hashtag as Twitter went mad for Wimbledon's cult hero.
Akinfenwa was born to a Muslim father and a Christian mother.
"When Ramadan was on dad made us fast and then I had to read the Bible every day and go to church," he said.
It was his mother's faith that he was drawn to and he now reads the Bible daily and attends church every Sunday.
Akinfenwa is something of a journeyman.
Despite his impressive goalscoring record at lower-league level (91 goals in 251 league games), he has struggled to find a permanent home.
He has had two spells at Northampton Town, but has also played at Doncaster Rovers, Torquay United, Swansea City, Millwall and Gillingham in a nomadic career.


The Israeli ringleader in the killing of a Palestinian teenager who was abducted and burned to death in 2014 has been sentenced to life in prison.

Yosef Haim Ben David, 31, was convicted of murdering Mohammad Abu Khdair, 16, after judges rejected an insanity plea.
Two Israeli youths have also been jailed for their roles in the killing.
Khdair was killed in revenge for the murders of three Israeli teens in the West Bank in a cycle of violence that led to a 50-day war in the Gaza Strip.
His body was discovered in a forest in West Jerusalem on 2 July 2014, two days after the bodies of the Israelis abducted and murdered by Hamas militants that June were found.
The Jerusalem District Court handed Ben David a life sentence plus 20 years for other crimes on Tuesday, and ordered him to pay 150,000 shekels ($40,000; Â£27,000) to the victim's family.
Hussein Abu Khdair, the Palestinian teen's father, said he wanted to "see him die in prison", according to the Associated Press news agency.
Earlier, Ben David had told the court that he wanted to apologise.
"I am sorry for the family. This is not me. I wasn't in control," he said.
The court found in November that Ben David had led the kidnapping and murder of Mohammed Abu Khdair, but postponed a verdict after his lawyer submitted a psychiatric opinion stating his client had not been responsible for his actions.
In April, the court formally rejected Ben David's insanity plea and found him guilty.
His accomplices, who were aged 17 and 16 at the time of the killing, were jailed for life and 21 years in prison respectively in February.
The three abducted Mohammad Abu Khdair at random as he stood on a road in the Shufat district of East Jerusalem.
The two youths then beat the Palestinian unconscious in the back of a car being driven by Ben David.
One of the minors helped douse Mohammad Abu Khdair with petrol while he was still alive, before Ben David lit a match and set him on fire.
During the attack, Ben David called out the names of Israelis murdered by Palestinians, including the three Israeli teenagers - Naftali Fraenkel and Gilad Shaar, both aged 16, and 19-year-old Eyal Yifrach - earlier abducted and killed in the occupied West Bank.
Two Palestinians suspected of their murders were killed by Israeli forces in a gunbattle in Hebron in September 2014. A third man, Hussam Qawasmeh, was sentenced to three life terms in prison in connection with their murders.


Five new magistrates have been sworn in at a ceremony in the Isle of Man before taking up their positions "at the sharp end of the administration of justice".

Maria Boncza-Tomaszewska, Geoff Collier, Ken Crellin, Julie Maddrell and Mike Murley took an oath of allegiance and justice on Thursday.
A government spokesman said the community volunteers were now ready to hear cases at Douglas court house.
Deemster Doyle said they would play a "vital role" within the justice system.
He added: "They all bring with them their individual strengths, experiences of life and their sense of justice and fairness. The justice system will be stronger for that.
"The justices play a vital role at the sharp end of the administration of justice in this wonderful island.  It is very healthy that members of the community are willing to actively engage in the administration of justice within the community."


A one-year-old girl has died after an incident involving an unoccupied vehicle, police have said.

South Wales Police were called to a property in Heolgerrig, Merthyr Tydfil, at about 13:40 BST on Sunday.
The child was airlifted to Prince Charles Hospital but died shortly afterwards.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident and have appealed for witnesses.
The girl's family are being supported by specially trained officers.


Shrewsbury climbed off the bottom of League One with victory over Bristol Rovers.

Louis Dodds scored for the third time in as many games to give Paul Hurst's side the lead before Ian Black doubled the advantage from the penalty spot, ensuring the Shrews recorded back-to-back league victories for the first time this season.
Rovers almost took the lead in the first minute but Peter Hartley's header from a Charlie Colkett corner clipped the top of the bar.
The hosts broke the deadlock in the 16th minute when Dodds pounced to score his seventh goal of the season from close range after Rovers were unable to deal with Mat Sadler's low cross from the left.
Junior Brown then saw his far-post header impressively tipped over the bar by Rovers goalkeeper Will Puddy before Black and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake both fired narrowly off target.
The visitors enjoyed plenty of possession at the start of the second half, but clear chances were hard to come by and Shrewsbury doubled their lead in the 73rd minute.
Hartley handled Brown's cross from the left and midfielder Black confidently smashed in the penalty.

Morriston Hospital in Swansea will be equipped with state-of-the-art robotic training equipment in a £3m investment.

Robots will eventually help carry out less invasive surgery in areas such as ear, nose and throat, and urology.
Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething said the "advanced facilities" would attract specialists to Wales and give patients the latest treatment.
A prostate surgery robot at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff will also be given extra funding.
The cash will boost facilities for training doctors from hospitals across south Wales in robotic surgery.
Professor Andrew Davies, chair of Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board, said: "This is great news for patients as it will allow our doctors and nurses to improve and extend their skills and surgical techniques."


A court in Colombia has sentenced eight soldiers to 60 years each in jail for killing four farmers and then claiming the men were left-wing guerrillas.

It is the latest prosecution in the so-called "false-positive" scandal that first erupted in 2008.
Security forces are believed to have killed thousands of civilians and passed them off as guerrillas in order to falsely inflate their success rates.
They used these tallies to claim promotion and perks such as days off.
The specific events happened in 2006 in the area of Yarumal, in the province of Antioquia.
The soldiers claimed the victims - Enrique Piedrahita, John Edison Galeano, Jesus Alberto Londono and Juan Dario Arroyave - were guerrillas killed in combat.
In a statement, Colombia's Public Prosecutor's office said the prosecutor had proved beyond reasonable doubt that "the victims were taken from their houses by force, there was no fighting, and that the men were farmers who were shot in the back".
The convicted soldiers included one officer, Luis Gabriel Rueda Acevedo.
The "false positive" scandal first hit the headlines under former President Alvaro Uribe.
There have been a number of high-profile resignations and prosecutions since.
But hundreds more cases are still being investigated.


When the state pension was introduced in 1909, the maximum payment was five shillings (25p) a week - the equivalent of about £20 today.

Just over 500,000 old and poor people queued up to receive it. They had to be at least 70 years old, have an income of less than 12 shillings a week and not have too much furniture, which was judged as a sign of wealth.
An overhaul of the state pension system will see a single-tier pension - of £155 a week - being paid to some new pensioners from April 2016. Others will get less, and those who qualified for a pension before April 2016 will remain on the old system.
So how will this change the current system and how will it affect you?
How is the state pension run at the moment?
Those who qualify for a state pension currently start to receive payments in their 60s. The exact age is being equalised for men and women. It is rising to 66 for both sexes by 2020, then to 67 by 2028.
People can look at a state pension calculator to find the age at which they will receive it.
Some of those who qualified for a pension under the old system also receive the State Second Pension, or Serps, which is the government's earnings-related additional pension.
There is also an additional means test that tops up the pensions of the less wealthy.
This additional amount is called the Pension Credit, or Minimum Income Guarantee. Those who qualify are guaranteed a weekly minimum £151 for a single person and £230 for couples.
But is it correct that not everyone gets these payments?
Yes. Your state pension depends on how long you have worked and the number of National Insurance qualifying years you have.
If you reached the state pension age on or after 6 April 2010, you need to have 30 qualifying years for a full basic state pension.
If you reached the pension age before April 2010, then a woman normally needed 39 qualifying years, and a man needed 44 qualifying years during a regular working life to get the full state pension.
If you are in a couple, and only one person in a couple qualifies for the basic state pension, then you can still receive top-up state pension payments of up to £64.40 a week by using one partner's National Insurance record.
Currently, those aged 80 and over who do not qualify for a basic state pension because of an incomplete National Insurance record, can get a smaller pension as long as they fulfil factors such as residency requirements.
There seems to be quite a lot of paperwork there?
And there is more. The means test actually puts some people off the top-up they are entitled to.
An estimated 1.5 million people could claim the extra money through Pension Credit but are not doing so.
The government says this is all too complicated. It wants to make the system simpler - but it still will not be simple.
What do the latest proposals say?
The government has outlined proposals for a major overhaul of the system.
This aims to simplify the system by getting rid of all the means-tested sections entirely, for all those retiring from April 2017.
It plans to give a universal payment - of £144 a week at today's prices - for all those who reach their state pension age and have 35 years of National Insurance contributions.
Owing to the complexity of pensions, including "contracting out" arrangements, it will actually be the case that some people will get more than £144 a week, and quite a large number will get less.
Those who start receiving a state pension before April 2016 will not be affected.
Who wins, if these changes happen?
Those who have built up quite big savings for their retirement could be better off. This is because these savings are considered, at present, in the means testing for Pension Credit.
A simple system means that it should be easier to explain why people need to save more - on top of the state pension - for their retirement years.
The self-employed, who have received a relatively small state pension, could also benefit. Those who have taken time out of work to care for children, or people with disabilities will have access to the enhanced single-tier pension.
The flat rate of £144 per week per person at today's prices means that the actual level of payment will be higher than £144 and will depend on the level of inflation between now and then.
The government will want to get implementation right, to prevent confusion during the transfer between the current system and the new one.
Who loses and which aspects could prove controversial?
The timing will be significant.
For example, existing pensioners will remain in the old system, so they could be slightly worse off than new pensioners. In the long-term, those who are aged in their early 20s now may be worse off than they would have been under the current system.
There is also likely to be much discussion on whether a millionaire getting the same state pension as somebody on the breadline is fair or not, although this income would be taxed.
And, on a more technical point, some people on a workplace final-salary scheme pay less National Insurance (NI) because their state second pension is "contracted out".
They will receive a reduced version of the flat-rate pension to acknowledge the fact that they have not been contributing to the state second pension in the preceding years.
Anyone who has not paid NI for at least seven, or possibly even 10, years in total in their working life will not qualify for the new single-tier state pension at all.


Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is hopeful of concluding the transfer of midfielder Mohamed Elneny this week and predicts one of the busiest January transfer windows in the Premier League.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The Gunners are close to signing Elneny from FC Basel and Wenger believes all clubs in the top flight will be active.
"We hope to have things done this week. I'm optimistic," said Wenger.
Ex-Arsenal striker Benik Afobe's move from Wolves to Bournemouth for about £10m is the biggest so far this month.
Chelsea's £23m signing of Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado was the largest deal completed on transfer deadline day in 2015 as Premier League spending in the January window matched 2014's £130m.
That figure fell well short of the record £225m spent in 2011.
Wenger said: "My prediction is that it could be one of the most active January transfer windows that we've seen."
The Frenchman is anticipating a lot of deals being done in the league over the next three weeks.
"I would say for the media you could have some good news in the January transfer window," he said. "I believe many clubs will be active. You go from the clubs who are down in the table like Villa, who have to do something, to the clubs at the top."
He also tipped Afobe to do well at Bournemouth.
"Afobe has the qualities to integrate into a team like Bournemouth, whose game is based on movement, pace and quick football," he added.
"I am very happy for Benik because he had an outstanding attitude here. Sometimes you have to let people go who are not completely ready for us, knowing they could be successful."

Highland Council has sought full planning permission for its Inverness West Link and permission in principle for associated projects.

Planning officials have recommended that the south planning applications committee approves both applications.
The West Link has been proposed as a way of easing travel across Inverness. The new road is opposed by a local campaign.
Campaigners say the West Link will lead to the loss of green space.
The other project involves relocating Torvean Golf Course, creating a new sports hub and parkland at Torvean and extend Kilvean Cemetery.
The committee will meet on 8 April.


Former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has signed for Major League Soccer side Montreal Impact.

The 37-year-old left Stamford Bridge this summer after playing 381 games and winning four Premier League titles across two spells with the London club.
Drogba is the Ivory Coast's all-time top scorer, with 65 goals in 105 international appearances.
Montreal president Joey Saputo said the signing made it "one of the biggest days in club history".
He added: "It's an honour to welcome Didier Drogba to the Impact.
"From the first conversation I had with him, I felt that he really wanted to play in Montreal.
"His arrival will be beneficial in every aspect."
Drogba will be a designated player at the Canadian side, which means his wages will not be restricted by the MLS salary cap.
Impact, MLS members since 2012, finished bottom of the table last season.
Drogba follows former Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard in moving to the North American league, with the 37-year-old having joined New York City.

A farmer has been fined £2,000 following an accident in which his nine-year-old grandson was seriously injured.

Dumfries Sheriff Court heard that Thomas Raine suffered a fractured skull and a punctured lung when he was struck by a tractor.
He has made a full recovery since the accident in April 2011.
Brian Blacklock, 65, of Middlebie, near Ecclefechan, admitted contravening the Health and Safety at Work Act.
The court was told that Thomas and his 12-year-old brother, David, had been playing in a field where Blacklock was working when the accident happened.
He had allowed them in the field at the family farm at Middlebie, even though he was driving a tractor with rollers attached.
The farmer has since retired.


Marcus Maddison produced a moment of individual genius to clinch victory for Peterborough against Charlton in League One.

The highly-rated wideman doubled his side's lead with a glorious 83rd-minute chip that deceived goalkeeper Declan Rudd and kissed the underside of the bar before dropping into the net.
Maddison also created Posh's opener nine minutes earlier when delivering a pinpoint cross from the right for substitute Martin Samuelsen to nod past Rudd.
The Norway international struck with his second touch of the ball and only 90 seconds after being sent on by manager Grant McCann.
Those goals ensured Posh collected back-to-back league wins for the first time since December, when Charlton were also among their victims.
The Addicks were actually the better side for much of the game but could not manage a breakthrough.
Lee Novak was denied by a fine Jack Baldwin block and a smart Luke McGee save in the first half.
Baldwin also threw himself in front of Ricky Holmes efforts either side of the break as Charlton's miserable run extended to one win in 13 games.

In crime drama Sicario, Emily Blunt plays the lead role of an FBI agent who joins an elite force to combat a drugs warlords on the US-Mexico border.

For almost the entire film, she is the only woman on screen.
"It's something you don't see in cinema," says the British actress. "Even though there are a lot of women in law enforcement, we just don't make films about them."
Blunt says her character, Arizona FBI agent Kate Macer, is the film's moral compass.
At the beginning of Sicario - which in Mexico means hit-man - Kate uncovers a horrifying "house of death" connected to a Mexican drug cartel. She is then recruited to a covert black-ops mission headed by mysterious Colombian Alejandro (Benicio del Toro) and special agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin).
Blunt had no back story to work on for Kate "except that she just got a divorce and she needs a new bra", so she fleshed out the role by talking to real-life female FBI agents.
"I based the character on one in particular who had an inner steeliness," she says. "She spoke very softly and she was quite shy and yet she worked on a kidnap response team.
"It was a very physical job. She worked with these big men on the Swat team and was unfazed by it."
While promoting Sicario at last month's Toronto film festival, Blunt revealed a potential backer had wanted screenwriter Taylor Sheridan to rewrite the lead character as a man in order to attract further investment.
Had that shocked her? "Sadly, I'm not surprised," she says. "But I'm thrilled by Taylor's reaction, which was to consistently walk out of those rooms. And that's why it took him a while to get the film made.
"I don't think it's a blip. It happens a lot. Numbers are crunched on films that have done well. When you do that, you are making films that are derivative of something else."
But she remains optimistic that the Hollywood landscape might be changing, citing recent the performances by Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road and Rebecca Ferguson in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.
Blunt says: "There are a lot of films that are coming out that embrace stronger roles for women - more complicated roles, not just about being strong or having a gun. That's so boring."
Blunt and Ferguson are about to work together on the film adaptation of the bestselling book The Girl on the Train.
Blunt will play the girl of the title - an alcoholic divorcee who fantasises about a couple she sees from her train. The film, directed by The Help's Tate Taylor, is set for release in 2016.
"I'm about to play a blackout drunk," says Blunt, "and what I think readers have responded to with that book - and hopefully the film audience will too - is less the thriller aspect of it but the portrayal of these three incredibly damaged women, which I think is more interesting to people."
Last year, Blunt's big screen appearances included musical Into the Woods and sci-fi thriller Edge of Tomorrow.
She is an actress who bounces comfortably between genres.  She came to international attention opposite Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada, and her other film roles include The Adjustment Bureau, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and Looper. She played the title role in The Young Victoria.
Her acting career started on stage, with Blunt making her West End debut in 2001 opposite Dame Judi Dench in The Royal Family. Although she hasn't been on stage for more than a decade, Blunt is keen to "do a new play" in the US, where she recently became a citizen.
Is there any genre that has eluded her? "I haven't done a Western... but Sicario... is kind of a Western. I try not to base my ambitions on genre or type of movie. I try not to strategise the next move, The roles I take on are the ones I'm surprised by and challenged by."
Sicario's Kate Macer is just such a role. Blunt says director Denis Villeneuve's film will stay with people.
"That's so thrilling to me," she says. "Often people leave a cinema and they don't discuss a film because they've seen something derivative.  I think this will be a film people will discuss for days afterwards."
Sicario is released in the UK on 8 October.


A tea stall named after India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party's PM candidate Narendra Modi is doing brisk business, media reports say.

Owner Mavji Ahir says his new chai (tea) stall is helping him make daily profits of 2,000 rupees ($32; Â£19).
Mr Modi often talks about his "humble beginnings" as a tea vendor.
At the weekend, he is due to meet people at a tea shop in Gandhinagar city to connect with the voters. India is to hold elections in a few months.
Gandhinagar is the capital of the western state of Gujarat and Mr Modi is the charismatic, thought controversial, chief minister of the state.
Taking a cue from the BJP leader's "chai-wallah" story, Mr Ahir, 25, opened a small tea stall in Gujarat's Kutch district.
"I was almost unemployed and not able to earn even 5,000 rupees ($80; Â£48) a month. But now I am able to sell more than 300 cups of tea every day, which helps to generate a net profit of over 2,000 rupees a day," The Pioneer newspaper quotes Mr Ahir as saying.
Within a week of the "Modi Tea Stall" starting on the Anjar-Bhuj Motorway, Mr Ahir's business has become a hit, the paper says and adds that many people passing through the highway have made it a point to stop by for a cup of tea at his stall, mostly out of curiosity.
Mr Ahir now wants to rise like Mr Modi - but he says he has no political ambition and wishes to open a luxury hotel in the future.

Renowned jazz clarinettist Buddy DeFranco, known for working with Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday and other well-known musicians, has died aged 91.

DeFranco's family said the musician died on Wednesday evening at a Florida hospital.
His wife, Joyce, said his health had been poor in recent years.
DeFranco, a member of the American Jazz Hall of Fame, performed at venues around the world for 75 years and also recorded many albums.
The musician conducted the Glenn Miller Orchestra for eight years from 1966 to 1974.
He was named a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master and and later a Living Jazz Legend in a Kennedy Center ceremony.
And DeFranco won the Playboy All-Star award for top jazz clarinettist in the world 16 times.
"We have received condolences from around the world," DeFranco's wife told AP.
She said her husband's influence on music will last long beyond his lifetime.
Leading jazz clarinettist Ken Peplowski said: "Buddy DeFranco almost single-handedly was the clarinettist who moved the harmonic and rhythmic language forward from where Benny Goodman left off into the much more adventurous territory of bebop and beyond, while never forgetting his roots in swing music.
"He was also unfailingly kind and supportive to every other clarinettist who came after him."
Other top music stars he played with included Art Tatum, Ella Fitzgerald and Tony Bennett.
Originally named  Boniface Ferdinand Leonardo De Franco, the musician was born in Camden, New Jersey, but raised in south Philadelphia. He learned to play the mandolin at five, and took up the clarinet four years later.
He began his career as a teenager in Philadelphia and he went on to play with some of the major bands of his era including ones led by Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie, Gene Krupa and Charlie Barnett.
Later, composer Nelson Riddle was so impressed by DeFranco he wrote the musical Cross Country Suite in 1958 for him.
Legendary singer Nat King Cole, also introduced DeFranco when he premiered the work at the Hollywood Bowl.
Now, the annual Buddy DeFranco Jazz Festival is held each spring at the University of Montana.
DeFranco's family have asked that contributions in his memory be given to the festival so it can continue.
As well as his wife Joyce, the clarinettist is survived by his son Chad DeFranco.


At least 29 people have been killed in a suicide attack in a crowded park in the Iraqi city of Iskandariya, officials have said.

The bomber detonated the explosives at the end of a football match, wounding more than 60 others, according to police and medical sources.
Iskandariya is a mainly Shia town 40km (25 miles) south of the capital, Baghdad.
So-called Islamic State (IS) said it carried out the attack.
IS, a mainly Sunni group which controls large swathes of northern and western Iraq, has attacked numerous Shia targets in the country recently.
A local police captain said the suicide bomber blew himself up in the crowd as the trophy was being handed to the winners, AFP news agency reported.
The town's mayor was among those killed, the agency added, quoting an unnamed medical source.
Iskandariya is in a region that was once called "the triangle of death" and was badly affected by sectarian violence that followed the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.

Crisis in seven charts
Meanwhile, the powerful Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr urged Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to implement government reforms within 24 hours.
Mr Sadr warned authorities they would face street protests if a new-cabinet and fresh measures to fight corruption were not introduced by Saturday.
The ultimatum was made in a statement read to thousands of his supporters staging a sit-in outside the gates of the heavily fortified Green Zone, an area of government offices and embassies in Baghdad.
Plans for a cabinet re-shuffle were announced last month, but Mr Abadi has been slow to implement the changes.


Prisoners moved from London to a jail on the Warwickshire border have been blamed for a "sharp rise" in violence.

HM Inspectorate of Prisons found standards have declined at HMP Onley and declared it unsafe.
The watchdog found conditions worse than in 2012, with staff blaming relocated London prisoners and gang issues for a near-tripling of assaults.
The National Offender Management Service said tackling the decline in safety was the governor's top priority.
More updates on this story and others in Coventry and Warwickshire
The category C prison, near Rugby on the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire border, held about 740 prisoners at the time of its inspection, from 25 July to 5 August.
Since its previous inspection in 2012 it has been designated as a resettlement prison for Greater London.
Inspectors found there had been a "dramatic decline" in standards in that time.
"Staff gave various explanations, including the change of prisoner population and gang-related issues that they brought with them, the impact of new psychoactive substances [previously known as "legal highs"], and the impact of reductions in staff numbers," the report said.
But despite the rise in violence, "not enough had been done to analyse the root causes".
Peter Clarke, chief inspector of prisons, acknowledged good work being done at the prison but called for the leadership to "get a grip" and "halt the decline".
Staff shortages "did not offer an excuse for a decline in standards of the severity that we found", he added.
Michael Spurr, CEO of the National Offender Management Service, welcomed the inspectors' recognition of work being done at the prison.
Additional staff were being recruited to drive forward improvements required, he said.
Inspectors' findings:


(Closed): Shares on Wall Street closed up as the oil price had its biggest one day gain of the year.

It came after markets around the world fell sharply on Wednesday.
The Dow Jones closed up 15.12 points at 15,881.86. The S&P 500 index gained 9.6 points, to 1,868.93 while the Nasdaq index climbed just  0.37 points, to 4,472.06
Before Wall Street opened, markets had been lifted by comments from European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi.
The ECB kept interest rates on hold, as expected, but Mr Draghi said the eurozone central bank would "review and possibly reconsider" its monetary policy in March.
Oil gains also helped lift investors' spirits.
Brent crude rose 5% to $29.25 per barrel, while US crude climbed 4.2% to $29.53 a barrel.
"Petroleum markets are showing signs of stabilising after the recent run of weakness, and we see some scope for a technical correction, particularly if global equity markets are able to recover their recently misplaced confidence," said Tim Evans, of Citi Futures.
The gains boosted energy stocks, which have been hit hard as the price of oil has tumbled.
Pipeline company Kinder Morgan saw a 15.6% increase in its stock price.
Shares of natural gas company Southwestern Energy climbed 19.24% after announcing it would cut 1,100 jobs in 2016.


The top official of Calcutta's Jadavpur University has resigned following a four-month boycott of classes by students sparked by a sexual assault.

Vice-Chancellor Abhijit Chakraborty had called in police in September to quell a protest on campus over the attack.
What began as anger over the assault in August snowballed into fury over what was seen as a disproportionate response by the authorities.
Students had said they would not return to class unless Mr Chakraborty quit.
They boycotted classes, held meetings and staged a referendum in which they voted against Mr Chakraborty.
Earlier this month, 15 students went on hunger strike demanding his resignation. At least three of them were admitted to hospital.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced the news of Mr Chakraborty's resignation to the students on Monday evening.
"I spoke to the vice-chancellor and he informed me that an unrest is going on and he doesn't want the academic atmosphere to get vitiated further. He wants peace and so he is resigning," Ms Banerjee said.
"I want a peaceful environment to prevail in the university. There must be a conducive environment for education. I was concerned about the future of the youth and students. No academic activity was happening for the past four months."
The female student was attacked on campus on 28 August. Two Jadavpur students have been held in connection with the incident.
Dozens of students were injured when Mr Chakraborty called in police in September. The students said they were peaceful and accused the authorities of brutality.
Mr Chakraborty had defended the police action, saying he had asked them to rescue him and other staff members after they were surrounded by students for several hours.


Northern Ireland Water has said disruption to supplies this weekend could be worse than that experienced in counties Fermanagh and Tyrone earlier this week.

The interruption to service is being caused by ongoing industrial action by trade unions.
Nipsa, Unite and GMB members voted last month for a work-to-rule and withdrawal of on-call services and overtime.
Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy met the unions on Wednesday.
He said any resolution would have to be within the Northern Ireland Executive's current pay and pensions policy.
NI Water chief executive Sara Venning said on Friday it was unfortunate that industrial action saw customers being denied an "essential public service".
She said she felt the proposals in the latest offer presented to the unions "could be acceptable".
She appealed that while the proposals were being considered that there would not be an impact on customers and that some measures "are put in place to protect the public drinking water".
"We are working round the clock from an operational perspective to minimise the impact on customers," she said.  "We have been talking to the unions almost daily.
"We are working late into the night to try and find a proposal and a common ground that would enable the unions to withdraw and to suspend this action."
In a statement on Friday, NI Water said that since the meeting on Wednesday "intensive negotiations" had been ongoing and it had made a third formal offer to unions "which includes movement on pension issues as well as the potential for a two-year pay settlement".
It said that while this offer was being considered the company had sought a re-instatement of the Christmas arrangement to protect public health and critical customers, but this was declined.
"The result of this is that customers across Northern Ireland now face the prospect of supply interruptions on a scale greater than those which affected Fermanagh and Tyrone during the week," it said.
"The company has sought to end this dispute by putting forward a number of proposals, but the key demand from unions that pension reform be deferred is not something that NI Water management have in their power to deliver."
The company said that over the weekend, the major incident regime which has been in place since before Christmas would continue.
"This regime has allowed us to largely maintain services across the province. The extent of our infrastructure is such, however, that if the emergency cover which has been withdrawn is not re-instated, our customers will suffer," it said.
"Unfortunately the extent and exact location is something which we cannot predict in advance."
NI Water said that where customers are off supply for more than 24 hours, it will seek to provide alternative water supplies.
"Our ability to provide these alternative supplies will also be impacted by the industrial action being taken," it added.


The gruelling schedule the One Direction boys have been put through are no secret.

It was highlighted when Zayn Malik left the Asian leg of the band's On the Road Again tour last week and was signed off with stress.
But Newsbeat wanted to know what life in a boy band is really like.
So we spoke to Scott Robinson from 1990s band Five, who left the group when he was just about to turn 22. Here is his story in his own words.
It is very difficult being in a boy band.
What it is, is people from the public just see the glamour side of it and obviously they see you doing the big shows and Top of the Pops on the telly and living a certain lifestyle.
They think it's amazing. And it is, but you're worked very, very hard. It is tricky and you get very tired.
So, for example, during a week, we could be starting off in London. We might be on the Big Breakfast Show, say for six in the morning. So we'd be picked up at four in the morning or maybe earlier.
We'd go straight into make-up, we'd go on the show. We would literally finish the Big Breakfast and we could be jetting off to America. And we could be in America for two days doing promo.
Then we could leave America after two days and go to, anywhere, Norway, Sweden, anywhere. It could be writing, it could be recording, it could have been touring.
It was non-stop and we didn't get any breaks.
I remember sometimes we'd set an alarm and you'd be given two hours kip and then we were up doing another round of promo or whatever.
Speaking to the manager of One Direction, who used to work at the record company that we did, he said that they're worked pretty much the same, although they are given scheduled breaks.
They will have a certain amount of time to relax. But in that relaxation time, obviously you can't go anywhere, so you're still very much in the bubble of One Direction or Five.
You never really get any time to yourself. I remember having to call off the end of a tour because we were just so tired.
I'm a really fussy eater, so I could never find anything to eat, ever, anywhere.
I remember there were four days left in our world tour and we said, 'Look, we just can't do it' and we were all very, very unwell because we'd been worked so hard.
I had four days off, and that was the longest I ever remember having off during the band.
When I got to America, my now wife and mum and dad looked at me, and said, 'Wow, you look so ill'.
I slept for the first three days of the holiday. I hadn't eaten properly, I was very skinny. It was horrible to be in the situation where you are that tired.
You had to be happy all day long. There were points where you were so incredibly tired you almost didn't know your own mind.
You would be interviewed and you were being asked exactly the same question again and again and you've got to be enthusiastic about that question.
I used to fall asleep in the make-up chair. I used to go to sleep in the make-up chair, for 10 minutes and I'd wake up looking like a pop star. But I promise you I didn't look like a pop star before I sat in the chair.
It was literally 24/7 and that's no exaggeration and I do genuinely remember times when we had no sleep. Like, you know, none. None whatsoever.
Five are back on tour from 16 April.

The home of Scotland's only elephant has launched a search to find her a friend after the death of her long-term companion.

Mondula, known as Mondy, has been on her own at Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling since neighbour Toto died aged 46 last March.
The park is now in contact with zoos across Europe to find company for the "cheeky and clever" 46-year-old.
Mondy and Toto lived together for almost 20 years.
Blair Drummond Safari Park education officer Katie Macfarlane said that, despite not being the closest of friends, Mondy was affected by Toto's death.
She told the BBC Scotland news website: "For a few days she was quite sad and upset and you could tell she was wondering what had happened.
"In the family groups in the wild it has been seen that they mourn each other, but Toto and Mondy weren't related.
So, there were was a bond in the sense that they are very intelligent animals, but it wasn't a family bond."
The keepers have been working with Mondy every day through training to keep her stimulated following the loss of Toto.
Miss Macfarlane said: "In the first wee while she was a bit upset and she lost a bit of weight but she's doing really well now."
Any potential new companion will need to be an older African elephant which recognises Mondy's dominant nature.
Miss Macfarlane said: "It's her house, she's lived here for 20-odd years, so you've got to make sure that they're going to let her be the boss to a certain extent.
"The keepers would never want her to be on her own for the rest of her retirement, so it was always a thought from day one.
"But it takes time. You can't just throw elephants together and expect them to be friends."
Mondy's new companion will be introduced to her gradually, with the pair initially being kept in separate enclosures.
Miss Macfarlane said the keepers were now trying "really hard" to find a new friend for Mondy.
She said: "The elephant building that we currently have was built in 2013 and was specifically designed as a retirement home almost.
"We work constantly with a lot of zoos through breeding programmes and the park managers are in touch with all the zoos that have African elephants in Europe.
"We said since we lost Toto that it wouldn't be immediate and it wouldn't be healthy for Mondy for it to be immediate.
"We have to give her a bit of time to get used to the new situation."


Cardiff City striker Rickie Lambert says it was a relief to score his first goals in the 2-1 win over Rotherham.

The 34-year-old former England front man says there is more to come as Bluebirds prepare to play Derby.
"It doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to score goals, but performance-wise, fitness-wise it's only going to get better," he told BBC Wales Sport.
"That first one it took me four games, but I'm off the mark now and I'm looking forward to Tuesday."
The win over Rotherham lifted Cardiff out of the Championship relegation zone and ended a run of four consecutive defeats.
Derby visit the Welsh capital on Tuesday who having dropped into the relegation places - one place and two points behind the Bluebirds.
Lambert says it is important for Cardiff to build on the win at the New York Stadium and climb the table.
"Our aim is to be in and around the play-offs," he added.
"I'm not saying because we've got three points that we're going to get there - we're nowhere near that level yet - but we've made a small step and that's all we can do."
Lambert has scored 216 goals in 592 league appearances since his career began as a trainee at Blackpool in 1998.
But he had played little football in the past two seasons having become out of favour at West Brom.
He added: "Scoring goals will help me confidence wise - and so will going from two years not playing to playing 90 minutes.
"I was hoping to get on the score sheet as soon as possible to help my team-mates and get us some points again.
"It's a small step to where we want to go so I'm made up."


Almost 2,000 Vodafone customers may be open to fraud after their personal details were accessed.

Criminals used customer details gained from "an unknown source" to try to access accounts between Wednesday and Thursday, the company said.
The telecommunications giant said 1,827 customers had their accounts accessed, with criminals potentially gaining their names and some bank details.
But it insisted its systems had not been breached.
Vodafone said its investigation and "mitigating actions" meant only a "handful" of customers had been subject to any fraudulent attempts to use their data.
It comes just over a week after the phone and broadband provider TalkTalk was subjected to a cyber attack in which personal and banking details may have been accessed by hackers.
Vodafone said its security protocols had been "fundamentally effective", but the criminals had potentially gained customers' names, their mobile phone numbers, bank sort codes and the last four digits of their bank account numbers.
Vodafone says it has notified the 1,827 affected customers and there is no need for other customers to be concerned.
Those who are affected should:
The company said the details could not be used to access customers' bank accounts but the information meant they could be at risk of fraud or phishing attempts - the practice of sending emails purporting to be from reputable companies.
The BBC's technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones said the email addresses and passwords criminals used to try to access Vodafone accounts appeared to have been bought on the dark web.
A Vodafone spokesman said the affected Vodafone accounts had been blocked and their banks notified.
The National Crime Agency, the Information Commissioner's Office and Ofcom have been notified of the incident, Vodafone added.
An NCA spokeswoman said: "The NCA can confirm that we have been contacted by Vodafone in relation to a compromise of customer data, and we are in dialogue with the company.
"Anyone who thinks they have been subject to attempted or successful fraud, or other online crime, should report it to action fraud at www.actionfraud.police.uk."


German prosecutors have dropped an investigation into a TV comedian accused of insulting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The prosecutors in the western city of Mainz said they had not found sufficient evidence to continue the inquiry against Jan Boehmermann.
In March, Boehmermann recited a satirical poem on TV which made sexual references to Mr Erdogan.
Mr Erdogan then filed a complaint alleging that he had been insulted.
In a statement on Tuesday, the prosecutors said that "criminal actions could not be proven with the necessary certainty".
It was "questionable", the statement added, whether Boehmermann's poem constituted slander, given the satirical context in which the comedian recited it.
In April, German Chancellor Angela Merkel Germany said her government would allow the potential prosecution of the comedian, triggering criticism that she did not stand up for free speech.
Under German law, the cabinet had to approve a criminal inquiry.
However, Mrs Merkel added that the authorities would move to repeal the controversial and little-used Article 103 of the penal code, which concerns insults against foreign heads of state, by 2018.
Was the poem a dangerous, illegal, borderline racist insult? Or was it a clever satire poking fun at German media and the country's outdated legal system? And what is satire anyway?
Given that Jan Boehmermann could, at the request of a controversial foreign leader, conceivably have ended up prison over this gag, these suddenly seemed like very important questions in Germany.
In the end it seems that Boehmermann's head-spinning self-referential irony has made it impossible for a court to say whether he was actually insulting Erdogan or not.
Anyone who says Germans don't have a sense of humour, doesn't know Germany - and has certainly never seen Boehmermann in action.
Irreverent to the point of discomfort, he is so subversive that you're often not sure if he's making fun of himself, someone else or you.
During the height of tensions between Athens and Berlin over the Greek debt crisis Boehmermann portrayed Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis as a vengeful motorbike-riding sex bomb.
But it was in fact his fellow Germans, and the rest of the media establishment, that the comedian was mocking.
A jaunty 1930's-style Springtime for Hitler remake wittily highlighted the similarities between the views of the anti-migrant party AfD and Nazi-era politics.
Even refugee helpers have been fair game, as Boehmermann mercilessly portrayed modern, multi-cultural Germans as an unstoppable horde of muesli-eating, Birkenstock-wearers.
He clearly thinks they're right and the AfD is wrong. But that doesn't stop him making them look ridiculous.
Boehmermann is a satirist and television presenter well-known for pushing the boundaries of German humour.
The poem was broadcast on ZDF television. The comedian was later given police protection.
Mr Erdogan has drawn much criticism in Turkey and internationally for attacking political opponents, including harassment of journalists. Many accuse him of authoritarian methods, stifling legitimate dissent and promoting an Islamist agenda.
Paragraph 103 of Germany's penal code, on defamation of organs and representatives of foreign states, has the following to say:
(1) Whosoever insults a foreign head of state, or, with respect to his position, a member of a foreign government who is in Germany in his official capacity, or a head of a foreign diplomatic mission who is accredited in the federal territory shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding three years or a fine, in case of a slanderous insult to imprisonment from three months to five years.
The article dates back to the penal code drafted when the German Empire was formed in 1871, although at that time it just applied to monarchs.
It has been little used in recent years and is colloquially known as the "Shah law" among German lawyers after the Shah of Persia successfully brought a case against a Cologne newspaper in 1964.
A Swiss man living in Bavaria was also prosecuted under the article in 2007, after he posted offensive comments about then Swiss President Micheline Calmy-Rey on the internet.

Police say they have found the body of a man snatched by a crocodile as he swam in a river in Australia's Northern Territory during a birthday party.

The body of Sean Cole, 26, was found on Monday in the area where he was last seen.
Police say he ignored signs to stay out of the water at a popular camping ground at Mary River, 65 miles (100km) from Darwin, the territory's capital.
The river has one of the highest crocodile populations in the area.
Onlookers watched in horror as the victim was suddenly attacked.
The victim and another man had gone swimming across the river, and were swimming back when the crocodile attacked, police said.
"Several of the group in the party witnessed the male being taken in the jaws of the croc for a period of time, and then he was out of sight," Senior Sergeant Geoff Bahnert was quoted as saying by the AP news agency.
"The Mary River is known worldwide to have the greatest saturation of adult saltwater crocodiles in the world. You don't swim in the Mary River," he added.
At least four crocodiles have been shot in the area following the incident, rangers say, including one believed to be responsible for Mr Cole's attack.
Saltwater crocodiles can grow up 7m (23ft) long and weigh more than a tonne. They are a common feature of Australia's tropical north.


France centre Wesley Fofana will miss the 2017 Six Nations after rupturing an Achilles tendon, according to his club Clermont Auvergne.

The explosive back, one of France's key players, sustained the injury in the first half of Clermont's Champions Cup win over Exeter Chiefs on Saturday.
"He will see a surgeon tomorrow for a very likely operation and a long period of unavailability," the Top 14 club said in a statement.
"He is out of the Six Nations."
France - who finished fifth in last year's tournament - begin their 2017 campaign against reigning Grand Slam champions England at Twickenham on Saturday, 4 February at 16:50 GMT.


Facebook has launched a Marketplace feature to let people buy and sell items locally, in a move that could rival sites like eBay and Craigslist.

The new feature will debut in the US, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, the firm said in a blog post.
A smartphone app will be made available in the next few days with a desktop version due in the coming months.
The new feature puts Facebook in direct competition with increasingly popular local online selling platforms.
The social media site is already being used for selling and buying via Facebook groups.
"In recent years more people have been using Facebook to connect in another way: buying and selling with each other," said Mary Ku, director of product management, in the company's blog.
"This activity started in Facebook Groups and has grown substantially. More than 450 million people visit buy and sell groups each month."
Facebook will not be involved in the payment process and will not charge for putting items up for sale at the moment.
It is not the first time the social media giant has tried to expand into the second-hand market. It originally launched a desktop-only classifieds marketplace in 2007
Facebook shares traded marginally higher on Monday in the US while shares in eBay fell by more than 1%.


Critics of an upcoming BBC Prom that will celebrate the dance sounds of Ibiza have been branded "snobs and scaremongers" by a Radio 3 presenter.

Writing in the Radio Times, Suzy Klein said suggestions the BBC was "teetering worryingly at the top of a slippery slope" were "a load of old cobblers".
"Electronic dance music is dazzling in its primal energy," the presenter of Radio 3's In Tune programme continued.
"Great music festivals must embrace great music, in its many guises."
The late-night Prom on 29 July will see Radio 1 presenter Pete Tong celebrate 20 years of the Ibiza dance scene in a concert with Jules Buckley and the Heritage Orchestra.
This year's Proms season also includes a BBC Radio 1Extra Prom on 12 August featuring leading hip-hop and grime artists from Britain's urban music scene.
Klein promised that the latter concert would be "mind-blowing" and could hardly be seen as "the tip of the iceberg for Proms armageddon".
"I love dancing to an addictive club anthem as much as I adore listening... to a Brahms symphony," the broadcaster wrote. "Who says you're not allowed to enjoy all of it?"
The 2015 BBC Proms season runs from 17 July to 12 September and will comprise 92 concerts in total, mainly at London's Royal Albert Hall.
Klein is a regular presenter of Radio 3's daily afternoon music show and will be one of the presenters of the BBC's Proms coverage.


A dog that mauled a four-month-old baby to death snatched the boy from his mother's arms, an inquest has heard.

Archie Darby died on 13 October after being attacked by a Staffordshire bull terrier-type dog in Harwich Road, Colchester.
Essex Coroner's Court heard the infant died from severe head injuries consistent with a dog attack.
His 22-month-old brother Daniel-Jay was left with "life-changing injuries".
The boys' mother was also hurt.
Live: Read more about the hearing and other Essex news
The dog was put down with the consent of its owner - the children's aunt - who has been named in reports as 31-year-old Clare Ferdinand, a serving Essex Police officer.
Police are not treating the attack as a criminal investigation.
During a brief hearing, coroner's officer David Dinnell said: "Archie Darby was a four-month-old baby being held in his mother's arms when he was taken out of her arms by the family dog and attacked."
The inquest heard an ambulance was called and CPR was attempted but Archie was pronounced dead at the scene at 16:02 BST.
Senior Essex Coroner Caroline Beasley-Murray said: "Please let condolences be expressed to Archie's family at this very dreadful time for them."
A full hearing will take place in December.


A man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering an 18-year-old man in the Moss Side area of Manchester.

Abdul Hafidah was stabbed after he was hit by a car at about 17:15 BST on Thursday. He died later in hospital from a stab wound to the neck.
Police believe he had been chased by a group of men near Greenheys Lane before being hit by the blue Vauxhall Corsa on Moss Lane East and then stabbed.
A 19-year-old man is being questioned, Greater Manchester Police said.
Two other people have been arrested in connection with Mr Hafidah's death.
A 19-year-old man from Moss Side , who was arrested on suspicion of murder on Sunday after handing himself in at Longsight police station, remains in custody for questioning.
A 17-year-old boy earlier arrested on suspicion of attempted murder has been bailed pending further inquiries.
Officers are appealing for anyone with dash-cam or mobile phone footage of the incident to pass it on to them via dropbox or by calling at their local police station.


Fife Flyers head coach Todd Dutiaume was left disappointed as his team ended the Elite League play-off weekend without a win.

But he remained immensely proud that his team were in Nottingham to compete in the 2015-16 season-ending finals.
After Sunday's 6-0 loss to Cardiff Devils in the third-place game, Dutiaume said it was "difficult" to lift his men from their semi-final.
Flyers went down 4-1 to Nottingham Panthers in Saturday's last-four tie.
"I don't know how that third-place game is for fans, but it's certainly painful for fans and difficult to get up for," said the Fife head coach.
"This is our second third-place game to play in and I spoke with the players about playing professionally.
"Unless you come in 100% and fully switched on, it's difficult to catch up with the pace and you could tell Cardiff were more tuned in.
"It leaves a sour taste in the mouth to go out on a 6-0 defeat, especially after playing such great hockey.
"The bigger picture is what this team has accomplished and I couldn't be prouder of what the guys done this year."
If the quarter-final win over Braehead Clan was the Flyers' high point, Saturday's defeat by Nottingham must have been at the other end of the scale.
In the first period, Fife were as dogged and determined as they had been over Ryan Finnerty's men, with David Brown in goal impressing once again.
After Coventry's shock 6-2 thrashing of Cardiff earlier in the day, the Flyers sought to record another upset.
But the Panthers were clinical and two quick goals during the second period rendered Fife's efforts in vain.
David Clarke's well-struck shot into the roof of Brown's net got the valuable opener, followed by Logan MacMillan sweeping in a second from Andy Bohmbach's square pass.
Patrick Cullen wasted an open goal opportunity that could have made a difference, but Ryan Dingle's angled finish started to get the Flyers fans believing again.
They thought they had scored an equaliser through Michael Dorr, but it was ruled out for an earlier infringement.
Panthers scored straight away through Brad Moran before Evan Mosey added their fourth to seal a place in the final.
For the Kirkcaldy side, their chance at redemption was the third-place game against Cardiff.
The Welsh team took the lead during the first period when Luke Piggott finished off a well-worked move.
Ryan Russell skated in from the left to flick the puck into the roof of the net to double the lead.
Then Chris Jones scored with a rebound to make it 3-0 with four minutes left to go of the first period.
David Brown was given an early finish and replaced by Craig Douglas as Dutiaume decided to utilise his team.
Cardiff went four up in the second as Jake Morrissette finished with a close-range tip then Piggott made it 5-0 shortly after.
Kyle Haines nearly gave the healthy travelling support something to cheer about late on with a strong effort that was batted away by netminder Mike Will.
Jones added his second and Cardiff's sixth to complete the rout on what turned into a miserable weekend for the Flyers in Nottingham.
The Scottish side's weekend was rounded off with the news of associate coach Danny Stewart's retirement.
Fans paid tribute to him during the final between Nottingham and Coventry, singing his name during the 39th minute - his shirt number.
Stewart revealed the physical rigours of the sport were starting to affect his everyday life and admits he took his time to make the decision.
He said: "I've had a great run and met a lot of great people along the way, but it was never an easy decision and I've been mulling it over since Christmas.
"My body has shown more wear and tear this year than ever before and I've been feeling more and more discomfort as the days and months went on so it's the right time to retire."
And Stewart's old club, Coventry, ended the weekend with a 2-0 loss to Nottingham, who clinched the final trophy of the season.
Stephen Schultz and former Dundee Stars defenceman Kevin Quick notched the goals to clinch the trophy for the home side.
