Hide AdAnthony Scully, Owen Moxon, Tom McIntyre and Will Norris all secured moves away from the club with Moxon and Norris leaving on a permanent basis. Scully was loaned out to Colchester United for a second time this season after returning to the club in January following a severe ankle injury sustained in November, which subsequently required surgery. McIntyre has headed to League One to help Charlton Athletic in their goal of finishing in the play-off positions.
With nine points separating Swansea City in 17th and Plymouth Argyle who are bottom, there are eight teams right now that you could say are involved in the relegation battle. With these clubs being in such a precarious position, persuading players to join you can be a tough ask but some have done it better than others.
Cardiff City signed Will Alves on a loan deal from Leicester City until the end of the season whilst they allowed Michael Reindorf to go to Bristol Rovers. Derby County recruited Harrison Armstrong from Everton, whilst Hull City got John Egan from Burnley, paying a fee for his services.
Norweigan forward Lasse Nordas signed with Luton Town, whilst they let three of their players leave on loan. Bottom side Plymouth Argyle signed Malachi Boateng from Scottish Premiership side Hibs for an undisclosed fee.

Not every player who made a move on deadline day will get to feature for their new club at the weekend. It's the FA Cup fourth round and so some will be cup tied whilst other teams might not be in action at all with their fixtures rearranged. Pompey have a match at the weekend though as they face Sheffield United in the Bramall Lane. As we look towards what is a big game, here’s the latest odds for relegation of all 24 teams.
