London Town striker Peter Elkins has agreed to move to the Monsters for an undisclosed fee.
England CSA international Elkins, who played for Town while they were still known as Ajax London, had a horrible season, having only scored three goals in 16 appearances.
It is Elkins' fifth club in six years. The 6'8" forward, the tallest striker in MLF/BritLeague history, started his BritLeague career at Belfast Burn in 2002, before moving to Merseyside in 2005. He then joined Euro League side Lyon Roar two years later, but did not last long in France, sending him to Ajax London in early 2008.

MLF to become BritLeague for '09, plus more changes
Major League Football has announced that they will change its name to the BritLeague with immediate effect following that they don't want any confusion with the similarly named North American football (soccer) league called Major League Soccer.
"We want to be our own identity," said the BritLeague commisioner.
MLF2 is now to be known as BritLeague D (the Development League), MLF Europe will now be known as EuroLeague Football and MLF International will be called InterLeague.
Also many teams have changed their names. Manchester Magic will become Manchester Rockers because of Manchester's long history of indie music, Edinburgh Eagles will now be FC Edinburgh 2007, Dublin Druids (who were criticised for their name, they had no idea what druid meant at the time) will now be the Dublin Shamrocks, and Ajax London (who have ended their partnership with the Dutch team Ajax Amsterdam this year) will now become London Town.
Also the Middlesbrough Monsters have dropped the town name in favour of the Monsters Football Club, as they will move into their own stadium next year outside Middlesbrough after using Middlesbrough FC's Riverside Stadium for the past three years.
And finally, Reading Ruckus will move to Hampshire next year, after poor attendances at the Madejski Stadium. They will now be known as the South Coast Ruckus, however it is unknown whether they will use Southampton's St. Mary's or Portsmouth's Fratton Park as their main arena.

MLF Cup 2008: London United 3-1 Knights
Sunday 16th November - MLF Cup Final 2008
Wembley Stadium, London
London United defeated the East Anglia Knights 3-1 at Wembley in the MLF Cup final.
Adam Carter put the Knights in front after only six minutes.
But CraiCo, Rodrigo Santos and John Macdonald scored United's goals.
The MVP was rightly Macdonald as the recently named Rookie of the Year (the first rookie to win MLF Cup MVP) had a solid defensive game, as well as scoring a fine header to make it 3-1.
The two teams contested the last ever MLF Cup final as the league decided that the Winterman Trophy will go to the team who finish 1st in the regular season, as the schedule was as clogged up as it could ever be.
