    A new initiative highlighting the work of football club charities has been launched by the English Football League (EFL).

    'Scan to Smile' will be rolled out in stadiums across the EFL from Friday until the end of January, with supporters invited to scan QR codes on posters displayed around grounds.

    Each scan will unlock a short, uplifting story from a person whose life has been positively impacted by the support of their local club charity.

    The subjects tackled include mental health support, combating loneliness, improving physical wellbeing, employability and confidence.

    The EFL said it hoped the initiative would use "the reach and influence of football to offer fans a moment of positivity on matchday".

    Trevor Birch, chief executive at the EFL, said: "Behind every club are people whose lives have been positively changed through the work and dedication of their local EFL club charity.

    "This initiative gives supporters the chance to see that impact first-hand and reminds us that football truly is a force for good."

    Boreham Wood have completed the signing of Barrow midfielder Regan Booty for an undisclosed fee.

    The 26-year-old has been on loan since November, scoring three goals in seven appearances, including one from near the halfway line on his debut against Gateshead.

    He has now signed a deal until the summer of 2028 and said: "Everyone knows how much I've enjoyed my loan here, it was a no brainer to get it done on a permanent."

    Booty began his career at Huddersfield Town and also played for Notts County, Maidstone and Gateshead before joining Barrow last summer.

    Boreham Wood are third in the National League, two points behind leaders York City, and are looking to reach the English Football League for the first time.

    They are away to Braintree Town on Saturday.
