Shep Murombedzi's 25-yard deflected effort put the hosts into the lead midway through the opening half, but the goalscorer then brought down Danny Rowe in the box and Kingsley James converted from the spot.
Solihull were then handed a spot-kick of their own on the stroke of half-time when the visitors were penalised for tugging, and Akwasi Asante slotted home from 12 yards.
James took his goal tally for the season to four with his second penalty three minutes after half-time.
He was tripped in the box by Jamie Osborne but picked himself up to level the scores before Norburn won it at the death.

A bottle of Deanston 12-year-old malt was broken over the bow of the 90-metre Offshore Patrol Vessel in a ceremony at BAE Systems' Scotstoun yard.
The ship is expected to go into service next year and will be used for counter-terrorism, anti-smuggling and defence.
The MoD said work on HMS Forth and her sister ships was sustaining 800 Scottish jobs.
The vessels will be equipped with a 30mm cannon, a flight deck capable of accommodating a Merlin helicopter, and will be manned by a crew of 58 sailors.
It is the first of a fleet of new Batch 2 River-class OPVs being built on the Clyde, which are all expected to be in service by 2021.
Their construction has filled a gap in the order books of the Govan yard, where work is due to begin on eight Type 26 frigates this summer.
The Type 26 frigate, which is principally designed for anti-submarine warfare, will partially replace the current Type 23 frigate.
Each ship will carry a crew of 118, have a top speed of more than 26 knots and a range of 7,000 nautical miles. The first vessel is due to enter service in the early 2020s.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said that the work would safeguard hundreds of skilled jobs until 2035.
HMS Forth, the fifth Royal Navy vessel to bear the name over the past two centuries, is affiliated with the city of Stirling.
The MoD said the name maintained a connection that began when the people of the city adopted a previous ship with the name Forth during World War Two.
Minister for Defence Procurement, Harriett Baldwin, said the programme to build the ship was a vitally important part of the government's 10-year, £178bn plan to supply the Armed Forces.
She added: "From counter-narcotics operations in the Caribbean, to securing the UK's borders on patrols closer to home, the Royal Navy's new Offshore Patrol Vessels will help protect our interests around the world."

Vale are seven points outside the top six with three games left, but Alnwick says adding to his 13 shut-outs this season is a good target to aim for.
"We want to win every game and see where we finish," Alnwick, 22, told BBC Radio Stoke.
"Hopefully we can win all of them with clean sheets."
Twelfth-placed Vale have won their last two games - including the team they are chasing in sixth place, Gillingham - without conceding.
However, they need to win all of their remaining matches and hope for an unlikely set of results to go their way if they are to sneak into the promotion picture.
"We're disappointed we're not right in the mix coming into the last few games," Alnwick said.
"Our defensive record has been good all year - personally I'm happy with the way things have gone, people were putting us as favourites to go down but we've had a good season."
Vale boss Rob Page may choose to stick with the 3-5-2 formation that proved so effective in their 2-0 win at Gillingham, in Saturday's home game against another side chasing a top-six finish, Rochdale.
"The manager threw it at us as he wanted to match Gillingham up," he said.
"I think it was tactically very well done, the lads liked it."

Goalkeeper Jak Alnwick is determined to finish the season with three more clean sheets as Port Vale chase an unlikely play-off place in League One.

The group is consulting with 33 staff on plans to close its printing site near Cardiff Docks.
Trinity Mirror wants to print the Western Mail in Watford and the South Wales Echo in Oxford, it is understood.
The company said the consultation process was ongoing.
The group previously blamed "declining print volumes and the relocation of a number of titles within our print network" for the proposed closure of the print works, which is responsible for a number of Trinity Mirror newspapers as well as other publications.
Trinity Mirror also owns Wales on Sunday, which is already printed in Birmingham, as well as the South Wales Evening Post and the Daily Post.
Meanwhile, BBC Wales understands the company is in talks to sell its Media Wales building in Cardiff city centre.
The company plans to remain as a tenant when the deal is completed.
Media Wales moved into the six storey purpose-built office block on Park Street in 2008.
Staff cuts mean its sales and editorial teams now only occupy one floor, while accountancy firm Deloitte has taken some of the vacant space.
Trinity Mirror declined to comment on the proposed sale of its Media Wales headquarters.

Newspaper publisher Trinity Mirror plans to print some of its Welsh titles in London and Oxford when it closes its presses in Cardiff, BBC Wales has learned.

As the 18-day festival of traditional and roots music came to a close in Glasgow, they said 176 out of 222 ticketed events were sold out.
More than 110,000 people attended festival events which saw 2,375 musicians from 50 countries perform.
Artistic director Donald Shaw said: "The past 18 days have been exhilarating and unforgettable."
He said: "From the intimate intensity of Laura Marling accompanied for the first time by a full orchestra, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, to a Ceilidh led by Aidan Moffat.
"From the stunning virtuosity of an evening of maestros of stringed instruments from Brazil, India and the US dazzling the audience with their skills, to Tryst which saw 10 specially-commissioned new pieces for pipes.
"One of the many true joys of Celtic Connections is that within our tradition of Celtic music and international collaborations, we do not think about creative boundaries.
"Instead, we present on our stages some of the most brilliant musicians working today and explore the richness and diversity of the music we are celebrating."
He added: "The journey we have been on through Celtic Connections 2017 has shown the power of live music to connect with individual lives and to resonate with the wider world in which we all live, and we are already looking forward to presenting Celtic Connections in 2018, in what is going to be a very special 25th anniversary year."

More than three-quarters of shows at this year's Celtic Connections were sold out, according to organisers.

The charity wants to increase the number of children it helps directly by 25% to 10,000 annually and offer support to a further 20,000.
Believe in Me launches on Thursday and will also tackle a perceived lack of confidence in 11 to 18-year-olds.
The move comes on the back of a UK-wide survey that found most youngsters in the age bracket lack confidence.
In total, 2,000 youngsters were questioned, with 88% saying they were low in confidence - 96% of the 200 young people questioned in Wales gave that answer.
To address this, the charity wants to increase the £2.37m it raises annually in Wales to help youngsters dealing with things like poverty, homelessness, disability and bereavement to help reach more people.
Barnardo's Cymru director Sarah Crawley called the confidence study results "a wake up call".
She said: "We will be galvanising our work around three strategic aims: stronger families, safer childhoods and positive futures.
"Through these aims we will not only be meeting the needs of children and young people now, but looking into the future to prevent them from occurring."
|
About 30,000 vulnerable children will be helped each year, in plans to be announced by Barnardo's Cymru.

Contact has been made between the two clubs, although there is no agreement over a deal yet.
The France player, who signed for United for £25m in July 2015, would be reunited with former Southampton manager Ronald Koeman at Goodison Park.
Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho will sanction any deal for the 27-year-old, who is not part of his long-term plans.
Schneiderlin has played 11 minutes of Premier League football this season and he has not been included in the United squad for Wednesday night's league match at Crystal Palace.
Koeman was keen to keep the Frenchman at Southampton during his time as manager in 2014, and the Dutchman views him as a key component in his plans to strengthen Everton's midfield.
It is also understood Koeman is keen on United and Netherlands forward Memphis Depay.
The Dutchman has also attracted interest from Germany and Italy, with Roma among the clubs keen on the 22-year-old, who joined United from PSV Eindhoven for £31m last year.

Tim Farron said he was "ruling nothing in and ruling nothing out" but was "determined to play a big role".
Mr Farron held his Westmorland and Lonsdale seat with an 8,949 majority.
Mr Clegg resigned in the aftermath of his party's crushing general election result, where it was left with just eight MPs from the 57 it had in 2010.
Other possible replacements are Orkney and Shetland MP Alistair Carmichael, who was Scotland secretary under the last government, and Norfolk North MP Norman Lamb, who was care minister.
Speaking on Sky News, Mr Farron said the Lib Dems had gained 2,500 new members since polling day.
Who will replace Nick Clegg as leader?
"History will be kinder to the Liberal Democrats than perhaps folks have been in the past few days," he said.
Mr Farron said the party needed a "fresh start", and said he wanted to speak to "members, councillors and activists" before deciding on his role.
Pressed on his intentions, he said he was "determined to play a big role" in making sure the party "survives and thrives".
In his resignation speech on Friday morning, Mr Clegg said the results were "immeasurably more crushing" than he had feared, saying it had been a "huge honour" to lead the party.
"It's simply heartbreaking to see so many friends and colleagues who have served their constituents over so many years abruptly lose their seats because of forces entirely beyond their control," he said.

One of the favourites to replace Nick Clegg as Liberal Democrat leader says he will decide whether to put himself forward "in the next few days".

The 22-year-old is Vale's top scorer so far this season, having scored eight times in 12 league games.
Jones' deal is set to expire in January but Vale are keen to keep him, and would prefer to sign him outright.
"I think the way forward is to acquire him as a contracted player in January," Smurthwaite told BBC Radio Stoke.
"I'm in the process of building a football club. He's embraced the club very well. He's a great lad and he'd be a great addition to our squad.
"I've spoken to Birmingham and put forward a proposal."
Smurthwaite says one of the club's brightest young talents may end up leaving.
Defender Nathan Smith, 20, won the EFL's Young Player of the Month for August after making his league debut at the start of the season and was rewarded with a new three-year contract extension.
"There's some interest from the Premier League," Smurthwaite said.
"I'll be honest, if the right offer is made and Nathan wants to go, he'll be leaving us in January.
"This lad isn't motivated by money, he's motivated by the craft and if it's not right for him, he won't go.
"When the right opportunity comes for him, Port Vale will be recompensed but he will control that decision, not us."

League One Port Vale are trying to sign on-loan striker Alex Jones permanently from Birmingham City, says chairman Norman Smurthwaite.

Cornwall Council said it had been awarded more than £30,000 in grants to enable "essential works to be carried out" on the Grade II-listed Huer's Hut on the Towan headland.
The hut dates from the 19th Century, when Newquay was still a village and part of the pilchard industry.
The works were expected to take four weeks to complete, the council said.
The council - which has a long-term lease on the building, and is responsible for its repair and maintenance - said it had formally appointed contractor Ryearch to carry out the works on the hut.
Such huts provided shelter for lookouts, known as huers, who alerted fishermen to passing pilchard shoals.
Although the current building dated back to the mid-19th Century, the known history of the site went back to the 14th Century and it may have been a hermitage, the council said.

Work is due to start later in the autumn to repair a historic building in Newquay.

South Lakes Safari Zoo in Dalton said it would be closed from 9 January.
Barrow Borough Council raised several concerns about the zoo, including the closeness of the rhino dung to a fence, and the safety of walkways.
Zoo bosses said they felt "harassed" by the council and were unable to continue under such conditions.
On Thursday Barrow Council's licensing committee issued an order to the zoo to prove within 28 days that the aerial walkways were safe.
Zoo inspector Matthew Brash showed the council pictures of rotting timbers and said he and his colleagues had noted 20 slips and trips on them from the zoo's accident book.
But Karen Brewer, from the zoo, said there was only one accident listed in 2015 and two in 2014.
The council also said a pile of rhino dung was too close to a fence, providing a possible escape route for baboons, although the zoo said there had never been a baboon escape in 16 years of the dung being piled there.
In a statement, the zoo said: "We assure everyone that the zoo is safe and there is no evidence whatsoever to say otherwise.
"We are being subjected to an unprecedented attack and attempt to undermine our credibility and professionalism at every chance created.
"The management team cannot work under these conditions and hence the decisions made."

There are 250 commercial growers in County Armagh, supplying the cider, bakery and fresh markets.
And right now, they are in the middle of a six-week window to get them in.
They are mostly of the Bramley variety, with some eating apples mixed in.
Edmund Allen farms 70 acres of orchard on Grange Lodge farm outside Loughgall.
He aims to produce 1,000 tonnes a year, with about half of it going to make fillings for the bakery trade.
Most of the rest, he sells to cider makers and to shops and supermarkets.
But what is it about apples and Armagh?
Edmund provided his own explanation.
"Apples have been grown here for, we think, around 3,000 years," he said.
"It is the climate, we're near Lough Neagh which acts as a heat sink and keeps the temperature that little bit higher.
"So it's that, the fact that the soil type is good and the experience that we've built up over generations growing apples."
But it can be a precarious business. A sharp frost in early May, killed the blossom and nearly put paid to a year's work.
"I looked out the window and I didn't want to go out near the orchard, I knew what had happened," Edmund added.
"All the blooms I picked off had gone brown, they were dead.
"But we are really truly amazed at the apples that have set, we couldn't find any live blooms and yet nature has healed itself and we have sufficient apples to meet the market requirements."
Some orchards are only returning a 50% harvest due to that frost, but others are up to 90%.
Edmund says prices for his apples have been fairly "stable".
It costs him £40 a bin to produce the fruit. If he can sell them for between £60-80 he is doing well.
But he says he would need £100-110 a bin to reinvest in the business.
His annual running costs are around £80,000 and he tries to replant 10% every five years.
In the old days, there used to be 100 trees to the acre.
Now they are using smaller varieties to get more in and there could be 400 trees in the same space.
And in a another attempt to push up productivity, Edmund is looking to the Netherlands for help.
Native bumblebees caught here are shipped there for breeding, then brought back.
They are being trialled because they are better suited to the climate and are a bit harder working than the hundreds of thousands of honey bees that Edmund relies on to pollinate his trees.

£20m a year, that is what the harvest is worth to the apple growers of the Orchard County.

A government directive said they would be transferred to Thengar Char before being repatriated to Myanmar.
Rights groups have raised strong objections to the plan, saying it amounts to a forced relocation.
Thengar Char is engulfed by several feet of water at high tide, and has no roads or flood defences.
It was formed about a decade ago by sediment from the River Meghna, and does not appear on most maps. The low-lying land is around 30km (18 miles) east of Hatiya island, which has a population of 600,000 - and nine hours' journey from the camps where the Rohingya have taken shelter.
An official in the region told the AFP news agency Thengar Char was "only accessible during winter and is a haven for pirates".
The official said trees had been planted in a bid to protect the land from flooding, but these efforts were at least a decade off completion.
"It completely inundates during the monsoon," the official told AFP.
"It's a terrible idea to send someone to live there."
In Myanmar, the Rohingya are denied citizenship and treated as illegal migrants from Bangladesh.
But in Bangladesh too they are unwanted - leaving them persecuted, impoverished and effectively stateless.
Officials say an estimated 65,000 Rohingya have crossed into Bangladesh since October, fleeing violence in Myanmar's western state of Rakhine.
Some 232,000 - both registered and unregistered - were already living in Bangladesh before that influx, many in refugee camps with poor facilities.
Now the Bangladesh government has set up a committee of state officials to help identify and relocate undocumented Myanmar nationals.
A push to attract tourists is being blamed in part for the proposal, which has the backing of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Cox's Bazar, which houses 32,000 Rohingya in a squalid refugee colony, is home to the world's longest unbroken beach and Bangladesh's largest resort. Officials fear the presence of the Rohingya may put off would-be holidaymakers.

The Bangladesh government is moving to relocate tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslim refugees to a vulnerable island in the Bay of Bengal.

He claimed First Minister Carwyn Jones was saying "I told you so" while Plaid Cymru was using the poll's outcome as an "excuse" to call for independence.
Labour and Plaid had a "little Britain mentality" when a "globally facing Britain" was needed, Mr Davies wrote.
He made the comments in an article for The Times newspaper's website.
On Thursday, Welsh Government economic advisor Kevin Gardiner said some people were "perhaps unduly pessimistic" after the vote to leave the EU.
Within hours of the Brexit result being announced on June 24, Mr Jones said he feared it would cost Wales jobs.
In his article, to be published on Friday, Mr Davies said the first minister had been "particularly vociferous in his doom-laden economic forecasting, and in denigrating those who chose to leave".
"He has closed the doors on cross-party negotiation and now, having lost his nerve, seems unable to negotiate a deal for Wales, resorting instead to finger-wagging and pronouncements of 'I told you so'," Mr Davies wrote.
Plaid Cymru's call for independence "betrays how out of kilter they are with the needs of Welsh communities", he added.
"The prophets of doom and the independence mongers alike are wrong to take such a warped view of referendum result."
Mr Davies urged his political opponents to "lift their eyes to the sky and consider the limitless potential that now lies ahead of us and to embrace the outcome".
He added: "Instead they seem intent on clinging to a little Britain mentality. A globally facing Britain is what is now needed."

Scottish Swimming said the government had pulled funding from its £1.72m programme to support school lessons.
It said it was concerned it could lead to greater numbers of adults who lacked confidence in the water.
The Scottish government said the top-up scheme had ended but swimming was still well-funded.
Swimming is not a compulsory part of the curriculum in Scotland, unlike in England.
The provision of primary school swimming lessons varies extensively between local authorities, with children living in the most socially deprived areas having the highest number of non-swimmers.
Scottish Swimming claimed that as many as 40% of children, about 15,000 each year, headed to high school as non-swimmers.
Its "Top Up" swimming programme supported local authorities to deliver swimming lessons for pupils.
Scottish Swimming said "Top Up" helped up to 30,000 children to improve their swimming skills.
Sports Minister Jamie Hepburn said: "The Top Up programme was designed to help develop a model to enable swimming clubs and local authorities to teach children to swim by providing some initial additional investment to assist local provision. The programme received £1.72m over four years.
"Although the top-up programme has now ended, Scottish Swimming received more than £5m (over four years) in the latest funding round from sportscotland. This is the largest funding settlement of all the Commonwealth Games sports."
Shelagh Dow, the head teacher at Granton primary in Edinburgh, said financial pressures stopped many families from going swimming.
She said the loss of the programme would have an impact.
"That is going to make a huge difference for them," Ms Dow said.
"Swimming is ultimately a life skill and because a lot of them don't manage to pick up the swimming with the funded lessons that they have in primary 4 they really need that top-up. Quite often financial constraints stop them going swimming at other times."
Sharon Macdonald, development officer for Scottish Swimming, said: "It is very concerning for us. The programme has been in place for the past four years.
"We've seen a massive impact from the programme in the region of 25,000 to 30,000 children who have either improved their swimming or become what is our new national standard for school swimming.
|
The end of a scheme to improve the standard of swimming among primary school children has brought a warning from the sport's governing body.

Deulofeu had a successful loan season at Everton in 2013-14 but spent much of the last campaign on the sidelines during a spell at Sevilla.
The 21-year-old has signed a three-year deal and will move on 1 July.
Everton boss Roberto Martinez believes Deulofeu can still develop into one of the game's outstanding young talents.
He told Everton's website: "We are getting an even more mature player now than he was a couple of seasons ago and a player who considers Everton as home.
"This is why we are incredibly excited to have him back here on a permanent basis and to encourage him to grow, develop and mature his enormous talent."
Martinez forged a close relationship with the player during their season together and Deulofeu believes his countryman can revive his career.
He has turned down other more lucrative offers to return to Merseyside.
Personal terms have been agreed and it is believed Barcelona will insert a buy-back option into the deal for some future point should he develop as they once hoped.
Deulofeu will become Everton's second signing of the summer after England midfield man Tom Cleverley joined on a free transfer from Manchester United following a successful loan spell at Aston Villa.
Martinez said he was "really pleased" to complete the signings early in the transfer window.
He added: "It was always our intention to work extremely hard behind the scenes to get some really good business done early on during the transfer window."

The RSPCA said it believed the adult grey seal swam inland along the River Glaven in Norfolk on New Year's Eve.
It then managed to make its way into a woman's garden in Blakeney, just off a coastal road, through the fence. It was returned to the sea on New Year's Day.
The RSPCA said: "The lady certainly had a shock when she spotted him lazing around in her shrubbery."
The seal was spotted by the holiday home owner in the afternoon.
Animal collection officer Naemi Kilbey said the animal was "in very good condition".
"Despite being well and truly lost, he luckily didn't have any obvious injuries or illness," she said.
"So we loaded him up in the van and took him straight down to the beach at Blakeney to release him.
"It was so lovely to start the new year watching him swim back out to sea where he belongs."
The RSPCA said it was "not uncommon" for seals to venture up rivers away from the sea looking for food.
It said they normally managed to find their way back.
"But it looks like this guy's internal navigation system got a bit frazzled and he ended up a little lost," Ms Kilbey added.
The RSPCA advises members of the public to keep a distance from any seals on land and not to interfere unless necessary.

A seal was found in the back garden of a holiday home, 2km (1.2 miles) away from the sea.

The pup was found on the opposite shore from Conwy town with an eye injury and with no sign of its mother earlier this month.
It was taken to the Welsh Mountain Zoo where its wounds have since healed.
RSPCA inspector Mike Pugh said: "It's fantastic news that this seal pup is on the mend, after such a tough ordeal."
But he urged the public not to approach all lone seals, as they have not necessarily been abandoned by their mothers.
The pup's release has been planned for the first three months of 2017.

A seal pup that was rescued in Conwy county is recovering well and could be released into the wild in the new year, RSPCA Cymru has said.

Batsman Weatherley and leg spinner Crane, both 18, have both penned two-year development deals keeping them at the Ageas Bowl until 2017.
Crane made his first team debut earlier this month in the T20 Blast and his County Championship debut in the current match against Durham.
Weatherley captained England Under-19s on their tour of Australia last winter.
Crane has also been selected in the England Under-19 Test and one-day squads to face Australia later this summer.
"It's great all my hard work has started to pay off," Crane told BBC Radio Solent.
"Hopefully the contract can lead to more opportunities in the first team and it's the first step on the ladder to making it.
"It's a nice surprise it's happened now, I was expecting it to possibly come at the end of the season."

The number issued to people in Northern Ireland also doubled, in the largest monthly increase since the Brexit vote.
June's result has sparked a marked rise in the number of people applying for Irish and European Union passports.
November is normally one of the quietest months of the year for passport applications.
But the total number from Northern Ireland - 4,569 - was up by more than 600 from October.
Some 6,855 people people in Great Britain applied for an Irish passport in November 2016, a significant jump from 3,133 last year.
Applications from Northern Ireland went up from 2,267 in November last year to 4,569 last month.

More than twice the number of Irish passports were issued to people in Great Britain last month than in November 2015.

The grey and white mammal became stuck on sandbanks on Thursday at Saltney Ferry, near Chester.
An RNLI lifeboat hoisted the dolphin out of the water before carrying it out to sea, according to the British Divers Marine Life Rescue.
The dolphin, in the river since Monday, will be taken three miles off the coast of Rhyl.
Alan Forrester, lifeboat operations manager with Flint RNLI, told Radio Wales the rescue boat was launched at Connah's Quay after the dolphin was seen "floundering" on a sandbank.
It was hoisted onto the lifeboat and carried down the river towards open water.
An animal welfare officer is also onboard.
"We've got what we call an ambulance pouch, which is a rolled up stretcher," Mr Forrester added.
"They laid that on the sandbank and rolled the dolphin into the stretcher and lifted it into the lifeboat.
"It's rather a large dolphin. It's lying there nicely, they've got buckets of water to keep it cool - everything seems to be ok at the moment."
The mammal was originally spotted by the public on Monday in Connah's Quay docks and became stranded briefly on Tuesday after turning to make its way to Flint and towards the sea.
Liverpool coastguard wanted to hold off a rescue attempt for as long as possible to avoid coming into physical contact with the mammal in case it is rejected back at sea.
A coastguard team was earlier deployed to the area to try to ensure the safety of spectators trying to catch a glimpse of the dolphin.
It is thought the dolphin swam up the river during the high spring tide.
It is rare for dolphins to be seen in the River Dee but a pair of porpoises were reported near Queensferry Bridge eight years ago.

A dolphin has been rescued after swimming miles up the River Dee in Flintshire four days ago.

He returned to his home town of Middlesbrough for the ceremony, in which he was made an honorary doctor in professional achievement.
Mr Mortimer paid tribute to the area for its "distinctive, dry, sense of humour".
Many of the characters created in his double act with Vic Reeves were based on locals, he revealed.
He said: "I was here until I was 25, and the people that you meet then remain with you a lot longer than people you meet when you are older.
"It always makes me sad when I come home, in that nice way, as I have so many fond memories of the place."
When asked if he thought Middlesbrough FC would win promotion back to the Premier League, he said he would not curse them with a prediction.
As for his doctorate, he said: "I will frame it and put it above my son's bed to prove to him that I did amount to something."

Auckland-born Quinn, 22, holds a UK passport and will not therefore count as an overseas player.
He is the first signing by the county since Thursday's appointment of former England paceman Chris Silverwood as head coach.
"Matt is a tall, fast bowler who can swing the ball. We've made no secret of the fact we want to bolster the bowling attack," said Silverwood.
"Having looked at Matt play, alongside his record in New Zealand, he's got a good pedigree."
Essex have had quite an overhaul since the appointment of former captain Ronnie Irani as their new cricket committee chairman.
England one-day international Reece Topley has joined Hampshire, while former skipper Mark Pettini has moved to Leicestershire and former England spinner Monty Panesar, Greg Smith, Matt Salisbury and Saf Imtiaz were all released at the end of last season.
But slow left-arm spinner Aron Nijjar and young fast bowler Aaron Beard have both signed their first professional contracts, while England all-rounder Ravi Bopara, opening batsman Jaik Mickleburgh, limited-overs captain Ryan ten Doeschate and England Under-19 all-rounder Callum Taylor have all agreed new deals.

Props Samson Lee and Paul James have calf concerns and Aaron Jarvis is also a worry. Head coach Warren Gatland says he may have to call up front-row cover.
Allen scored a first-half hat-trick but was taken off in the second with a "significant" hamstring injury.
But full-back Liam Williams' thigh injury is not thought to be serious.
Flanker Dan Lydiate was also taken off to be assessed for a head injury, but the British and Irish Lions player passed the head injury protocol tests.
"It looks like Cory has a significant tear in his hamstring and it looks at this stage like he'll have to be replaced," said Gatland.
"He will be scanned tomorrow. Liam will be scanned tomorrow too.
"Liam had a knock on the thigh but it's too early to see for next week. We'll have to wait 24 hours to make an assessment."
Gatland added tight-head Lee and loose-head James are both struggling with "tight calves", while Jarvis damaged a rib cartilage.
"We may have to make a tough decision in terms of the props, because we have to have five props," said Gatland.
"At the moment we've only got three that could take the field and we have to have four."

The 22-year-old ex-West Ham youngster made only six appearances for the Tykes after joining last summer.
He previously played for the Hatters on loan from West Ham, scoring three goals in 11 matches during a loan in 2014-15.
The son of former Newcastle midfielder Rob Lee joins his brother Olly, who is already at Kenilworth Road.
"I'm looking forward to playing with Olly. He was a big factor in me coming here. Having been here and known all the lads, I'm really looking forward to it," he said.
"Olly and I spoke about it and we realised it would be a great experience to play together and something we'd enjoy. It's something special for the family."
Lee makes the opposite move to midfielder Cameron McGeehan, who left Bedfordshire to join Barnsley last month.

China's voting rights will rise to 6%, from 3.8% and IMF resources will double to about $660bn (£440bn).
This is the biggest shake-up since the IMF and the World Bank were set up to manage the post-World War Two economy.
China has set up the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank as an alternative to the IMF and the WB.
The IMF reforms were agreed by its 188 members in the aftermath of the world financial crisis in 2010.
As China's voting rights rise, the US will see its share drop from 16.7% to 16.5%. The US also retains its veto power.
India's voting rights will rise to 2.6% from the current 2.3%.
The biggest losers are European economies which will see their voting rights diminished.
The US was behind the initiative to bring in the 2010 reforms in a bid to keep China happy.
But Republicans in the US Congress had been concerned at the diminishing US influence.
US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said in a statement: "The IMF reforms reinforce the central leadership role of the United States in the global economic system and demonstrate our commitment to maintaining that position."
IMF chief Christine Lagarde hailed the US adoption as a "a welcome and crucial step forward that will strengthen the IMF in its role of supporting global financial stability".
And China's Central Bank said the reform "will improve the representation and voice of emerging markets and developing countries in the IMF and is conducive to protecting the IMF's credibility, legitimacy and effectiveness".
Last month, the IMF decided to include China's currency, the renminbi, as a reserve currency, alongside the US dollar, the euro, the yen and the British pound.
The IMF and the WB were conceived in 1944 at a conference in Bretton Woods, in the US state of New Hampshire.
The IMF aims to preserve economic stability and to tackle - or ideally prevent - financial crises. Over time, its focus has switched to the developing world.
The WB is the world's leading development organisation, working for growth and poverty reduction.

The US Senate has adopted long-awaited reforms to give emerging economies a greater say in how the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is managed.

Administrators acting for the fund say they have reached a deal to sell Lyndon Court in Belfast city centre.
Mr Graham's barrister argued that under the terms of a previous judicial direction the sale should not go ahead unless Mr Graham consents or a court orders it.
The case was adjourned until next week.
The adjournment was agreed to allow Mr Graham to have an expert witness report produced.
The report will deal with the valuation of Lyndon Court and the sales process.
The administrators, EY, must also disclose information to Mr Graham's expert witness.
The court heard that a previous ruling allowed EY to market the property, which is on Upper Queen Street.
However for a sale to proceed it would need the consent of Mr Graham or else be referred back to the the High Court.
Mr Graham's barrister, Monye Anydike-Danes QC, said the administrators had "agreed to tying their own hands".
However David Dunlop, for EY, argued that unless an injunction was imposed the administrators were "free to discharge their duty".
Mr Dunlop also said there was an urgency in the matter as the sales agent was concerned the bidder "could walk away from the deal".
He said the bid had been accepted on 8 August and the bidder said they wanted to complete within 20 days, a period which had now expired.
He argued that Mr Graham should give an undertaking that he would be liable for damages should the sale now fall through.
Ms Anydike-Danes QC said that there was no evidence that the matter was as urgent as had been claimed.
She also said it would be unfair for her client to give an undertaking in damages as no contracts had been signed and there was no binding agreement.
No undertaking was imposed and the case was adjourned until 18 September.
The court was told that the bidder for Lyndon Court is "a well known property person in this jurisdiction".

A major OECD report, published on the 28 January, ranked NI students 22nd out of 23 countries in literacy and 21st out of 23 in numeracy.
However, the OECD now say that they initially published the wrong data, and NI students are "in reality closer to mid-table of the surveyed countries".
The OECD say the mistake in the Building Skills for All report was only identified and corrected during Monday 1 February.
The new data shows that Northern Irish students rank 13 out of 23 for literacy skills, and 14 out of 23 for numeracy skills.
Northern Ireland students now rank above those in countries like the Republic of Ireland, Spain, England, the USA and Canada for reading and writing skills.
Meanwhile, Northern Ireland students rank better than those in countries like Australia, Poland, the Republic of Ireland, England and the USA for maths skills.
The OECD mistake affected rankings on the skills of university students published on pages 15 and 53 of the report.
In a statement to the BBC, an OECD spokesperson said a formatting error was to blame.
"In the course of formatting the document for publication, the graphic image for figure 3.2 (but not the title) was mistakenly replaced by the graphic image for figure 2.3," the spokesperson said.
"So while England's position changed little, Northern Ireland is, in reality, closer to mid-table of the surveyed countries."
The position of a number of other countries in the rankings was also affected and has been changed.
Finland is now the highest ranked country in the world for students literacy skills, instead of Japan.
Belgium is now the highest ranked for students' numeracy skills, instead of Finland.
The OECD say the rest of the data published in the original report is accurate.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has apologised for publishing the wrong information about the reading, writing and maths skills of Northern Ireland university students.

With characters like Sherlock Holmes and Dr Strange under his belt, he's signed up to play a supposed 41-year-old who is really 400.
He'll star as Tom Hazard in the film adaptation of the forthcoming How to Stop Time by author Matt Haig.
Described as a "wildly imagined love story", it follows Haig's children's books such as A Boy Called Christmas.
How to Stop Time won't hit shelves until July, but we know Hazard's youthful looks are down to an "extremely rare condition".
"The prospect of Benedict Cumberbatch playing Tom Hazard is a hugely exciting one and I could not be happier," Haig said.
The writer is best known for his quirky - and dark - stories about family life.
Cumberbatch's production company SunnyMarch will make the film with Studiocanal, while the actor will also take on the role of executive producer.
Before that, he'll be coming back as the eccentric surgeon Dr Stephen Strange in the Marvel superhero movies Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War.
He'll also star in The Current War as the real-life genius inventor Thomas Edison.

Rail minister Claire Perry called a meeting with the managers of Southern, Thameslink and Network Rail. All three have apologised for the problems.
The Department for Transport (DfT) said it was so officials, the rail watchdog and MPs could discuss improvements.
The private meeting was held at the House of Commons.
London Bridge station is being rebuilt as part of the £6.5bn Thameslink programme.
But commuters across the South East have reported delays and overcrowding.
A spokeswoman for Southern said the rail operator was working with Network Rail to improve performance.
She said some changes had already been made to improve punctuality and had proved to be beneficial.
Last month, Network Rail apologised for delays.
Simon Blanchflower, Thameslink programme director, said Network Rail recognised the service around London Bridge had not been good enough and the company was doing everything it could to tackle the problems.
Thameslink also apologised and said timetable and station layout changes had been made to alleviate the problems.

Rotherwas Chapel, in Herefordshire, has been unused for many years and currently can only be viewed by making an appointment through English Heritage.
But a newly formed Friends of the Chapel group are striving to make the historic chapel, once part of a large estate, more accessible to visitors.
The mass, open to all, is due to take place on Monday.
Margot Miller, a member of the Friends of the Chapel, which formed earlier this year, said research had not thrown up any records of mass ever being held there.
"It was originally used as a family church for the Bodenham family, not a parish church, so we don't know if any mass was heard," she said.
The Ministry of Defence took over the building after the death of the last Bodenham family member and it was used by soldiers defending the munitions factory in Rotherwas.
The rest of the estate was knocked down.
English Heritage eventually took the chapel over and Ms Miller and other volunteers formed a group to help look after and clean the building.
"It is a lovely chapel," she said.
"A beautiful little building. We think it was mainly used in the 16th century and it has a little altar and stained glass windows. The Bodenham family spent a lot of money on it."
The first mass is designed to coincide with celebrations for the Feast of the Assumption. The chapel is called Our Lady of the Assumption.
Plans for a memorial for Henry Bodehnam, killed in France in 1916, are being arranged for September and it is also hoped a carol service will be held in December.

The Brazil international, who had two years remaining on his current deal, scored 13 goals in 59 games for the Blues last season.
Willian, 27, joined from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala for a reported £30m in 2013.
"It's a dream to continue with this club and over the next four years I will try to help the team win more trophies," he said.
Willian, who has scored 19 goals in 140 matches for Chelsea, was named player of the year last season as the club finished 10th in the Premier League.
He has won 30 caps for Brazil since making his debut in 2011, scoring six goals.
Last week, Chelsea signed Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi from Marseille for a fee believed to be worth £33m, their first capture under new manager Antonio Conte.

Jack Wilshere is out for the season with a fractured leg, so there could be a recall for Lewis Cook.
Middlesbrough defender Calum Chambers might be involved after a nine-week absence because of a foot injury.
Fabio and Rudy Gestede are fit after minor injuries but Victor Valdes and Grant Leadbitter remain out with respective rib and hamstring problems.
Simon Brotherton: "Middlesbrough are still saying the right things about staying up, but it looks bleak for them now and there's no hint of a remarkable recovery in the air.
"They haven't won in the league since just before Christmas and are without a victory from any of their last 15 away games.
"While the Teesiders sit six points short of safety, Bournemouth are perched seven points above it and should be fine.
"Recent results haven't been great though and Boro's often chance-starved forwards will have noted that Bournemouth have conceded at least two goals in seven of the last eight games on the south coast."
Twitter: @SimonBrotherton
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "I'm not going to say that one win will make us safe but we're very motivated to win this game.
"We were on a really good run before playing the top two. We knew how hard this run was going to be but we've come out mainly unscathed after it.
"It's about us from our perspective, how well we attack the game and how our minds are focused on doing what we want to do. We know our jobs and know how important the game is."
Middlesbrough head coach Steve Agnew: "Of course it is a big week and of course it's a massive game. But you have to enjoy it and that's the only way I know, that's what the players and staff know.
"They are all relishing the game on Saturday. You do need wins and that's what we have missed, and that's what we need from now on in.
"Yes, you need to be hard to beat and continue to be difficult to beat, but equally you need a goal to take the three points we need."
While Boro have the staunch smell of relegation about them, Bournemouth probably only need one more win to be safe, and I think they will get it on Saturday.

"After eight wonderful years on The X Factor it's time for me to move on," he said in a statement.
"I'd like to thank ITV, Simon [Cowell], The X Factor family and particularly the viewers, all of whom have been a big part of my life for so long."
The 41-year-old took over from Kate Thornton in 2007 as host of the popular talent show.
The presenter and broadcaster currently presents a show on Radio 2 and recently completed a 24-hour dance challenge for Comic Relief.
"I'd like to wish the team all the best for the future, especially whoever takes over from me," O'Leary continued.
"You're about to be the conductor on the most brilliant, runaway train in showbiz. Good luck you'll love it!"
The news of his departure may fuel speculation that O'Leary is a contender to replace Jeremy Clarkson on the BBC's Top Gear.
Before Friday's announcement, William Hill had O'Leary as 6-1 to take over following the BBC's decision not to renew Clarkson's contract earlier this week.
Before The X Factor, O'Leary hosted Big Brother's Little Brother, Channel 4's companion show to its long-running reality show.
He has presented on BBC Radio 2 since 2004 and has hosted the National Television Awards since 2010.
Bookmakers Ladbrokes have made singer Olly Murs, a former X Factor runner-up, favourite to take over the vacant presenting role.
A spokesman for ITV said O'Leary had been "a fantastic host of The X Factor" and that the channel was "sorry to see him go".
"We wish him all the very best for the future and hope that he'll be back on ITV screens soon."

She said equality for women was "at the heart of the Scottish government".
More details about the competition, which is being run by the Young Scot organisation, will be released at a later date.
Ms Sturgeon has also called on women in leadership roles to follow her example and become mentors.
Speaking at a diversity event in Edinburgh, the first minister said: "My ambition for all our young people is that they will have a fair chance to succeed, and if they work hard and have the ability, there's nothing to stop them realising their dreams.
"It is not acceptable in 2017 for women to be under-represented in senior positions, including in the boardroom."
Ms Sturgeon insisted that her government offered "ambitious commitments" in support of women's equality which included;
She explained that one of her first moves as first minister was to appoint a gender-balanced cabinet.
The chief executive of the Young Scot charity, Louise Macdonald, said that supporting young people in realising their career potential and meeting their ambitions was the responsibility of every leader in Scotland.
She added: "Mentoring is a powerful way of helping young people achieve their goals and will help to create a new generation of positive role models to inspire other young women in the future.
"We're delighted to support the first minister and the Scottish government with this new mentoring programme and we are encouraging as many young women from across Scotland as possible to apply for this amazing opportunity."
"I hope that my election as first minister does indeed help to open the gate to greater opportunity for all women.
"I hope that it sends a strong, positive message to girls and young women, indeed to all women, across our land - there should be no limit to your ambition for what you can achieve.
"If you are good enough and if you work hard enough, the sky is the limit and no glass ceiling should ever stop you from achieving your dreams."

The Portadown Times published results from what it said was an "independent" poll ahead of May's general election.
But it failed to acknowledge that the survey had actually been commissioned by the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).
Mr Nesbitt said the article "appears to have skewed" the election result.
The article suggested that the gap in support between the DUP and Sinn Féin had narrowed.
The results put the DUP candidate David Simpson in first place with 30.7% of the vote, with Sinn Féin in second place on 28.1%.
The Ulster Unionist candidate, Jo-Anne Dobson, was third in the poll, with 25% of the vote.
Mr Simpson held his House of Commons seat for Upper Bann in the election with 15,430 votes, with Mrs Dobson polling 13,166 votes to finish in second place.
The Ulster Unionist Party said the publication of the article suggested to readers that a vote for Mrs Dobson would have would "split the pro-union vote, and risk the seat being taken by Sinn Féin".
The Independent Press Standards Office (IPSO) upheld Mr Nesbitt's complaint that the newspaper's description of the poll as "independent" had misled readers.
IPSO said the Portadown Times had also failed to inform readers that the poll had been conducted six weeks before it was published.
Mr Nesbitt said his party's canvassing team felt the publication of the "out-of-date" survey had "provoked a dramatic mood-swing on the doorstep".
"I have no doubt David Simpson will do the decent thing and call a by-election, so the people of Upper Bann can vote without the artificial shadow of fear hanging over their ballot papers," he added.
But DUP MLA Sydney Anderson said the Ulster Unionists needed to "accept the verdict of the people".
"Every candidate is entitled to disappointment following an election defeat," Mr Anderson said.
"What we are witnessing from the Ulster Unionist Party, however, is sour grapes on an industrial scale."

Racing have never before made it to the last four.
The winners will play Saracens in the final in Lyon on 14 May after they beat Wasps in Saturday's other semi-final.
Leicester have named the same side that beat Northampton in the Premiership last weekend for the tie, which will be held at the City Ground, home of Nottingham Forest.
Head coach Aaron Mauger will come up against compatriot and former All Blacks fly-half Dan Carter, who is in his first season with Racing.
"He's probably been the difference for Racing this year, even though you don't want to pin too much on one person," said Mauger.
"The direction that Dan has given the side has been critical. His composure in those tight moments has been the missing ingredient for them."
Mauger, who helped Crusaders to four Super Rugby titles between 2000 and 2007, also said that the Champions Cup has overtaken the southern hemisphere competition as the premier tournament for clubs.
"I think the Champions Cup is getting bigger, a bit more so now as I believe Super Rugby has been diluted by adding extra teams, which is a bit of a concern for them down there," said Mauger.
"It's probably the most prestigious competition."
Leicester Tigers: Mathew Tait (c), Telusa Veainu, Peter Betham, Manu Tuilagi, Vereniki Goneva, Freddie Burns, Ben Youngs; Marcos Ayerza, Harry Thacker, Dan Cole, Dom Barrow, Graham Kitchener, Mike Fitzgerald, Lachlan McCaffrey, Opeti Fonua.

The five Katyusha rockets came from part of Syria controlled by Islamic State (IS) militants, the Kilis governor's office said.
Turkish artillery fired back at IS positions across the border, Turkey's Hurriyet news daily reported.
Kilis has a Syrian refugee camp and shells have landed from Syria before.
Four of the rockets hit residential areas of Kilis - a town where an estimated 120,000 Syrian refugees outnumber local Turks.
A Turkish citizen and five other Syrians were also wounded in the rocket fire.
Cross-border artillery fire has hit Kilis almost daily recently. Twelve people were wounded there on 11 April, then the following day two people were killed and six wounded in a similar strike, Hurriyet reported.

The announcement came after a pact was agreed between the Socialists and centre-right Ciudadanos (Citizens).
"What has been agreed with Ciudadanos is incompatible with us," said Podemos's Inigo Errejon.
It deals a blow to Socialist leader Pedro Sanchez's hopes of becoming PM.
Between them, the Socialists and Ciudadanos command only 130 seats in the 350-seat lower house - leaving Mr Sanchez far short of a parliamentary majority.
In a vote on 1 March, he will seek the support of deputies in a vote of confidence that the former ruling Popular Party (PP), led by acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, has indicated it is likely to oppose.
Podemos now appears less likely to offer its support - overtly or tacitly, in the form of abstentions - now it has framed the pact between the Socialists (PSOE) and Ciudadanos as "an invitation to the PP".
"For the moment we have failed," Mr Errejon was quoted as saying. "The change [we sought] was not just to remove Mr Rajoy from the Moncloa [prime ministerial residence], but his policies."
Earlier, signing a deal based on a five-point plan for constitutional reform, Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera had urged other parties to come on board.
Podemos's radical policies are at odds with the liberal-centrist slant of Ciudadanos, and it had already warned they were unlikely to join forces, but it was not clear that Podemos would withdraw from the negotiating table entirely.
Should Mr Sanchez fail to secure an absolute majority on 2 March, he could then aim for a simple majority in a second vote on 5 March.
If he fails, the PP may attempt once again to form a coalition - perhaps a "grand coalition" with the Socialists and Ciudadanos.
If that fails, a new election would have to be called, probably on 26 June.
Mr Rajoy's centre-right PP, which took the greatest number of seats in the election, has already tried to form a coalition without success.

Spain's anti-austerity party, Podemos, says it is suspending negotiations over forming a government with the Socialists as the country struggles to resolve inconclusive elections.

Criticised by fans last term, Slade entered this campaign under pressure, and the Bluebirds drew their first three games.
But a 2-0 win against Wolves came as a relief to Slade.
"Everybody thought I would be down the road by the end of August, I suspect," he said.
"The pressure was on to deliver at home… and we've managed to do that.
"We're in quite a good place. I see us making progress.
"It was important we got our first win and it will build confidence."
Goals from Kenwyne Jones and Sammy Ameobi helped Cardiff to a comfortable win against a Wolves side who narrowly missed out on the Championship play-offs last season.
Slade succeeded Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Bluebirds manager in October 2014 and, after a torrid spell around Christmas when Cardiff fans called for Slade's sacking, the former Leyton Orient boss eventually steered his new side to an 11th-placed finish.
Now in his first full campaign in charge, Slade is encouraged with the progress Cardiff are making.
"It is important to get your first win but, performance-wise, I've been fairly satisfied with what we've produced by and large," he added.
"In open play, teams are not causing us problems perhaps like they were last year. We're more organised.
"We're playing off a structure and it's how I want to play now."
|
Russell Slade believes Cardiff's first league win of the season against Wolves can lift the team's confidence after a turbulent previous season.

She has been replaced on the ticket by the current MLA, Phil Flanagan, who missed out on selection at a previous selection convention six weeks ago.
In December, Ms Gildernew was selected to run alongside sitting MLA Sean Lynch and local councillor John Feely.
However, Sinn Fein's ruling council (Ard Comhairle) ordered a revote.
The party did not specify why, but it has been reported that concerns had been raised about procedural errors.
On Sunday, the new convention, which took place in Enniskillen, replaced Ms Gildernew with Mr Flanagan, who will now stand alongside Mr Lynch and Mr Feely.
In December, the outgoing MLA Bronwyn McGahan announced she would not be seeking re-election. However, Ms McGahan did put her name forward for the latest convention but was not successful.
Sinn Féin has come in for some criticism on social media for picking an all-male list of candidates.
There have also been rumours that Ms Gildernew, a former Stormont agriculture minister, might move to the neighbouring Mid Ulster constituency.
Last month, Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness announced that he is leaving Mid Ulster in order to seek election in his home constituency of Foyle.
In response to the speculation about her moving, Ms Gildernew tweeted that "Mid Ulster has excellent candidates to replace @M_McGuinness_SF and my heart's in #FST".
She also said that she did not think she would stand as an independent and her de-selection "could be a blessing in disguise!"
During his time in the Northern Ireland Assembly, Mr Flanagan has been frequently in the news.
Last month, he was ordered to pay damages to the Ulster Unionist MP Tom Elliott over a defamatory message on Twitter.
Mr Flanagan has also been admonished by the Speaker, Mitchel McLaughlin over some of his comments in the assembly chamber and for not wearing a tie - a breach of the Stormont dress code.

The vessel has been called the world's best example of a 15th Century ship by archaeologists.
And new evidence has found that the timbers from the ship have been matched to projects built in the Basque region.
It includes new data from medieval buildings in the Araba and Navarra areas of Spain.
"The mystery of the origins of the Newport Ship, the remains of the a remarkably well-preserved medieval ship may at last have been solved," said Nigel Nayling, associate professor at University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
"Artefacts found at the time of the discovery hinted at Iberian connections but recent advances in dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) have provided the first scientific evidence.
"The results strongly suggest that the ship was originally built in the Basque Country where wooden shipbuilding has a long tradition.
'Useful insight'
"A Basque origin for the ship has been suspected for some time and collaboration between the scientists was first suggested in 2006 by Xabier Agote, president of the Albaola Society which promotes research into Basque maritime heritage."
Mr Nayling said initial attempts to date the ship were unsuccessful.
But he added the latest results have come from research programmes sampling both the ship itself and more historic buildings that have allowed extension and improvement of the medieval section of the Basque chronology.
Debbie Wilcox, cabinet member for leisure and culture at Newport City Council said: "The ship provides an excellent opportunity to tell the story of medieval Newport and its history as an international maritime town long before its development as an industrial port.
"The latest information about the Newport Ship provides a useful insight into its origins and it appears that one of the mysteries of its history may have been solved."
Newport council has put a tender out to developers asking them to recommend a suitable location for the vessel.
It is seeking a specialist company who would be able to provide a new museum based around the ship's history.

A medieval ship discovered on the banks of the River Usk in Newport in 2002 may have come from the Basque country in Spain.

Henson, 35, will play for a Welsh team for the first time since he was sacked by Cardiff Blues in 2012.
"He talks to you and says: 'I played against Jamie Roberts for 20 minutes and I had the upper hand then and I just got injured'," said Jones.
"And it just shows that he still has his edge."
Dragons' future may be in doubt amid proposals that would see the Welsh Rugby Union take them over in the summer.
The Newport-based team began their search for new investment in April 2016.
But Jones says the player "didn't mention" uncertainty over Dragons' future during talks that ended with him signing for the club.
Former Wales flanker and captain Jones says Henson would love to play in their Judgement Day game against Welsh rivals Scarlets at Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday, 15 April.
He added: "If he could come and play for us, I'm sure he'd walk from Bristol to get a game and that's what he is - a big game player.
"My challenge will be getting him over in Zebre, I expect, and those games, but we've got to manage him as well.
"He's a consummate professional and it's invaluable to have him around to pass on his experience to those young players.
"Henson will play fly-half and centre for Dragons while Jones remains keen on bringing in another fly-half ahead of next season."
Jones is also still looking for another "experienced fly-half who can make us better".
"We've got a little bit of money left in the budget, I'm looking for a fly-half," said Jones.
"I've made no secret about that. I've got Gavin. I wouldn't mind one other with the right experience and there's two players I'm talking to.
"One of them is close to signing for us and that's my shopping done, really."
Jones says playing and coaching staff are working on the basis Dragons will be in existence next season, no matter what the outcome of a shareholders' vote, expected in May, that will determine the team's future.
"You can read what you want about voting and different things," said Jones.
"As far as we are concerned in the rugby department, we'll still be playing rugby as the Dragons next season and they'll want to play well."

Gavin Henson "still has an edge" that can boost Newport Gwent Dragons when he joins them for 2017-18 from Bristol, says head coach Kingsley Jones.

The Airlander 10 - part plane, part airship - was due to take off from Cardington Airfield in Bedfordshire on Sunday.
The aircraft measures 302ft (92m) long and is about 50ft (15m) longer than the biggest passenger jets.
It is not known when another attempt at a test flight will be made.
Christened the Martha Gwyn, the £25m aircraft can only fly in daylight for a test flight and it was feared the flight would not have been completed before dark by the time the issue was resolved, an organiser said.
It was first developed for the US government as a surveillance aircraft but the project was shelved amid defence cutbacks.
British firm Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV) launched a campaign to return the Airlander 10 to the skies in May 2015.
The huge aircraft will be able to stay airborne for around five days during manned flights.
HAV claims it could be used for a variety of functions such as surveillance, communications, delivering aid and even passenger travel.
|
The maiden flight of the world's longest aircraft has been postponed at the last minute because of a "technical issue".

They said there had been 63 confirmed cases of the mosquito-borne illness so far this year, up from seven in the whole of 2016.
Most of the cases have been in rural areas of Minas Gerais state, a Ministry of Health statement said.
The government has sent two million doses of yellow fever vaccines to the state.
The governor of Minas Gerais has declared a 180-day state of emergency.

Of the 63 confirmed cases in Brazil, 35 have proved fatal, Brazilian Health Ministry figures show.
That is the highest number of deaths since at least 2008, the year to which Ministry of Health records date back.
There have also been three confirmed cases in Sao Paulo, Brazil's most populous state, and one each in Espiritu Santo and Bahia, which both neighbour Minas.
It is not clear what has caused the rise in cases.

The move reflects concerns from local residents and businesses about air quality, Westminster City Council said.
A team of traffic marshals will patrol the borough and ask car idlers to switch off their engines, it said.
The London Taxi Drivers' Association (LTDA) said the move would not help abate London's air pollution problem.
The penalties will come into force on 1 May, as a "last resort".
The new policy follows Camden Council's fines for buses which idle for too long, introduced in 2011, and Islington Council's fines for idling vehicles introduced in August last year.
Westminster has the highest proportion of deaths attributable to air pollution, excluding the City of London, in the country, a report by the council said.
An air pollution monitoring station in Oxford Street, in the borough, recorded the acceptable limit set for air pollution - 200 micrograms per cubic metre - was broken 1,503 times in 2014.
A comparable station in Sutton did not break the limit at all last year.
Steve McNamara, general secretary of the LTDA said the fines were "absolute tosh" and a public relations and money raising exercise from the council.
He said: "It is not going to do anything constructive to tackle the pollution crisis in London. When was the last time you saw someone idling in the city? It doesn't happen.
"One of the real problems is cars stuck in traffic - research has shown pollution is up by 30% in areas of heavy traffic. Do something to help get the traffic moving."
Mr McNamara said another key factor was the number of diesel cars in the capital which emit greater levels of nitrogen oxides - which can cause health problems.
He said the move was "ironic" considering Chancellor George Osborne's incentives to diesel vehicles which were exacerbating the problem.
Neil Greig, director of policy and research at the Institute of Advanced Motorists, said the "key issue" would be how the marshals enforced the fines.
He said: "If they target private car drivers pulling up for a moment in relatively clean, modern cars in a draconian way - whilst ignoring old buses, coaches, large trucks, utility company vans or taxis idling for long periods - then it will quickly be seen as yet another revenue-raising exercise."

All 54 countries at the organisation's congress in Cairo agreed to change the statutes which previously stopped officials serving past the age of 70.
It was proposed Caf should bring its rules in line with those of world football's governing body Fifa.
Hayatou, 68, will now be able to stand for another term in office in 2017.
His current mandate ends in two years and he is seeking four more years until at least 2021, when he turns 75.
The rule change follows success in recent years in adapting the statutes to limit potential opponents to Hayatou's rule.
Caf previously brought in a rule that candidates for its presidency can only come from the ranks of its own executive committee, a tight-knit club closely controlled by Hayatou. Fifa does not have the same restriction.
Cameroon-born Hayatou, a former athletics official, is the longest serving senior member in Fifa structures, where he acts as vice-president, and has had few serious challengers for power in Africa since first winning election in 1988.
|
The Confederation of African Football voted on Tuesday to remove an age limit on its officials, paving the way for Issa Hayatou to stay on as president.

Medway NHS Foundation Trust said chairman Denise Harker and chief executive Mark Devlin had decided the time was right for them to move on.
The trust was criticised as failing and put in special measures following the Keogh Review in June.
It said a new chairman and chief executive were expected to be announced next month.
The Keogh Review found the trust, which runs Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, had major failings.
It was criticised for poor communication with patients, poor management of deteriorating patients, inappropriate referrals, delayed discharges and long waits in A&E.
The hospital was later told by the Care Quality Commission it must take urgent action to improve safety on a maternity unit.
In November health regulator Monitor said the hospital's problems were broader than first thought and said it must take urgent action or face leadership changes.
The trust said in a statement Ms Harker and Mr Devlin had decided to hand over leadership of the trust to a new team.
"I would like to thank Mark and Denise for their dedication and integrity," said Colin Wilby, its senior independent director.
"Their commitment to public service is indisputable and we wish them both every success in the future."
Earlier this week it was announced Medway Maritime's A&E department would undergo a £5m redevelopment.
Mark Reckless, Conservative MP for Rochester and Strood, said the hospital had appointed a new medical director and a new chief nurse.
"I think they are doing good work and I have seen some improvements but frankly, given the problems, I am not sure its been fast enough," he said.

Alzheimer's Research UK says more government help is needed to ensure the industry does not "retreat" from the challenge of finding new drugs.
The warning follows disappointing results in recent clinical trials.
The pharmaceutical industry body, the ABPI, says there are over 200 medicines under development for Alzheimer's.
It is estimated that more than 800,000 people in the UK have dementia. The majority have Alzheimer's disease.
The numbers affected are growing fast, and the search for new treatments is becoming more urgent.
But this summer two big trials have reported disappointing results. The drugs - bapineuzumab and solanezumab - failed to show benefits that researchers had hoped to see.
Alzheimer's Research UK fears companies may decide that putting resources into dementia is too risky. The charity's science director, Dr Eric Karran, said the trial setbacks were "very disappointing". He warned that companies could be deterred from investing in dementia.
"If you're running a business and you have options to find important new medicines in cancer, in diabetes or in neuroscience inevitably I think you have to place your bets where ultimately you will get a better chance of a return on your investment."
Dr Karran said there was a need for a new model of funding to ensure the pharmaceutical industry does not "retreat" from this challenging field of research.
"Now is certainly not the time to be giving up. But we need to accept that this is a challenging area and really bring all of our resources together from the pharmaceutical industry, from academia and from government, to tackle it."
In response, the chief executive of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, Stephen Whitehead, insisted that companies were still working on new dementia treatments.
"The industry continues to address unmet medical need in Alzheimer's as well as other neurodegenerative diseases, which are serious health challenges facing all societies with ageing demographics. Hence there is a pipeline of over 200 candidate medicines in various stages of development for Alzheimer's disease."
In March this year the prime minister said extra funding for research was a central part of his plan to tackle what he called the "national crisis" of dementia. Overall funding will increase to more than 66 million pounds by 2015.
In a statement, Andrew Chidgey from the Alzheimer's Society, said given the scale of the problem, funding for dementia was still far too low.
"Currently there are 150 times more clinical trials focusing on treating people in the late stages of cancer than Alzheimer's disease. One in three people over the age of 65 will die with dementia. More funding for research is urgently needed if we are to defeat the condition once and for all."

A minority group of independent councillors ran the local authority before the local council elections earlier this month.
The new coalition was formally set up at the first full meeting of the new council in Inverness.
Independent Margaret Davidson was re-elected as leader and Lib Dem Alasdair Christie as depute leader.
Independent Bill Lobban was elected convener.

The verdict threatens Apple's ability to offer its voice-controlled virtual assistant, Siri, in the country.
Shanghai-based Zhizhen Network Technology has sought to block Apple from selling products with the app installed, saying it infringed its rights.
Apple said it would pursue an appeal with the Beijing Higher People's Court.
"Apple believes deeply in protecting innovation, and we take intellectual property rights very seriously," said a spokesman.
"Apple created Siri to provide customers with their own personal assistant by using their voice.
"Unfortunately, we were not aware of Zhizhen's patent before we introduced Siri, and we do not believe we are using this patent.
"While a separate court considers this question, we remain open to reasonable discussions with Zhizhen."
The Chinese company could not be reached for comment.
Zhizhen offers its own voice-controlled service, named Xiao i Robot, which began life, in 2003, as a text-based chatbot that ran on others' instant-messaging tools.
It later evolved into call-centre software used by the Chinese government and several companies.
In addition, Zhizhen developed voice-controlled software for smart TVs, cars and smartphones - including an iPhone app that allows users to find restaurants, train times and stock prices.
In June 2012, Zhizhen accused Apple of intellectual property infringement after the US company announced at its developers' conference that Mandarin and Cantonese were being added to the list of Siri's supported languages.
Zhizhen noted that it had filed for the intellectual rights to the underlying technology in 2004 and had been granted the patent two years later.
Apple countered that Siri used a different process to power its voice-recognition tech - a court has yet to rule on this claim.
Apple also sought to block the case by asking China's State Intellectual Property Office to invalidate the patent, but was refused.
It then challenged that decision, suing both the patent authority and Zhizhen - but was thwarted on Tuesday when Beijing's Number One Intermediate People's Court ruled against it.
The China Mobile Internet Industry Alliance previously told the Xinhua news agency that it did not believe the case would result in Apple pulling its products from China, but added that the US company might have to seek a financial settlement.

The non-denominational school with community sports facilities is to be built on the site of the former North Kelvinside Secondary School at the top of Queen Margaret Drive.
Last year, Glasgow City Glasgow held a consultation and now the proposal has been agreed by councillors.
Changes to the surrounding schools' catchment areas were also approved.
Primary schools included in the changes are Cadder, Caldercuilt, Kelvindale, Parkview, Highpark, Dunard, Saracen, Oakgrove and Royston.
The council's children and young people spokeswoman Liz Cameron said the school would be a great asset to the local community.
"It's wonderful to be witnessing the resurgence and regeneration of Maryhill and as a result the need for additional primary school places," she said.

Rachel Booth, from New Milton, Hampshire, lost the rings in the water at Avon Beach, Christchurch, on Sunday.
Following a failed search using a snorkel, mask and rakes, she enlisted the help of two metal detectorists.
The rings were eventually discovered two days later at low tide. They were buried under four inches (10cm) of sand.
Mrs Booth, who will have been married to Stephen Booth for three years in September, said she felt "extremely lucky".
"I couldn't believe it - I was very emotional just to have them back," she said.
Gary Smith, who helped find the rings with Shaun Trotman, said the search had been made easier because Mrs Booth had used the location of nearby beach huts and bollards as markers for where she had lost them.

The cars were wirelessly linked to each other and "mimicked" a lead vehicle, driven by a professional driver.
The so-called road train has been developed by Volvo. The firm is confident that they will be widely available in future.
The project aims to herald a new age of relaxed driving.
According to Volvo, drivers "can now work on their laptops, read a book or sit back and enjoy a relaxed lunch" while driving.
The road train test was carried out as part of a European Commission research project known as Sartre - Safe Road Trains for the Environment.
The convoy comprised three cars and one lorry.
"Driving among other road-users is a great milestone in our project. It was truly thrilling," says Linda Wahlstroem, project manager for the Sartre project at Volvo Car Corporation
"We covered 200km in one day and the test turned out well. We're really delighted," she added.
The cars are fitted with special features such as cameras, radar and laser sensors - allowing the vehicle to monitor the lead vehicle and also other vehicles in their immediate vicinity. Using wireless communication, the vehicles in the platoon "mimic" the lead vehicle using autonomous control - accelerating, braking and turning in exactly the same way as the leader.
The vehicles drove at 85kph (52mph) with the gap between each vehicle just 6m (19ft).
"People think that autonomous driving is science fiction, but the fact is that the technology is already here. From the purely conceptual viewpoint, it works fine and road train will be around in one form or another in the future," says Ms Wahlstroem.
"We've focused really hard on changing as little as possible in existing systems. Everything should function without any infrastructure changes to the roads or expensive additional components in the cars.
"Apart from the software developed as part of the project, it is really only the wireless network installed between the cars that set them apart from other cars available in showrooms today."
The three-year Sartre project has been under way since 2009. Other partners include UK car technology firm Ricardo UK, Tecnalia Research & Innovation of Spain, Institut fur Kraftfahrzeuge Aachen (IKA) of Germany and the Technical Research Institute of Sweden.
All told, the vehicles in the project have covered about 10,000km on test circuits.
The eventual aim of the project is to have lots of cars "slaved" to a lead vehicle and travelling at high speed along specific routes on motorways.

Jermaine Easter nodded Rovers ahead from Lee Brown's cross before Ollie Clarke doubled the lead with a low right-footed shot.
Jon Meades' header gave Wimbledon hope but Matt Taylor's 12-yard finish, his 19th of the season, sealed victory.
Wimbledon, who are seventh, had substitute Adebayo Akinfenwa sent off for dissent.
Fifth-placed Rovers are six points off an automatic promotion spot with 11 games to go.
AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley told BBC Radio London:

"When you assess it afterwards it's not just the points you haven't gained, it's injuries and now suspensions."
"As far as the actual game goes, I thought we were really good. They were ruthless with their chances, we made some silly defensive errors at certain times and they punished us."
"I can't ask for any more. I thought in the second half particularly we ran all over them."

Bristol Rovers strengthened their promotion hopes with victory over AFC Wimbledon, their third in a row.

Mr Davies is widely known as Welsh Conservative leader but his authority does not extend beyond the assembly Tory group, under party rules.
Speaking on BBC One's Sunday Politics Wales, the AM admitted the Welsh party lacked clear leadership.
The Tories lost three seats in Wales at the general election, leaving them with eight.
It lost both of the seats it gained at the 2015 general election from Labour - Gower and the Vale of Clwyd - and also lost Cardiff North.
When it was put to him that there was a lack of clear leadership in the Tory campaign in Wales, Mr Davies said: "I agree with you entirely.
"We have a very strong distinct Welsh Conservative brand, but we do need to be able to make key political decisions here in Wales and have a designated leader here in Wales, similar to what Labour formalised back in March. I readily acknowledge that.
"I lead on devolution, on secretary of state aspects such as Westminster, obviously the secretary of state leads then. The chairman of the voluntary party obviously leads on the voluntary party... That cannot continue."
Mr Davies said he thought Scotland "had a very good model which has shown to be successful".
There, Ruth Davidson led a separate campaign to the Conservatives in England and Wales, largely focused and opposed to the SNP's calls for a second independence referendum.
The party gained 12 seats in Scotland, finishing with 13.
"There is a deficiency in the ability to make those key decisions from a party perspective and I do acknowledge that," said Mr Davies.
But, he added: "Let's not forget, there's a huge job of work to be done as we go forward as a country. The Conservative Party is the largest party in Westminster and its incumbent we form a government."
The Welsh Conservative campaign was marred by a row over who was meant to have represented the party in the BBC Wales Leaders' Debate.
Neither Mr Davies or Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns took part - with senior AM Darren Millar taking the podium instead.

The Welsh Tories need a designated leader that can make key decisions for the party, Andrew RT Davies has said.

The Reds said goodbye to captain Gerrard with a 6-1 thrashing at Stoke to finish sixth in the Premier League.
"I've always said if the owners want me to go, then I go," said Rodgers, who has won two of his last nine games.
"For everybody connected with Liverpool, we are all embarrassed by that result."
It was the first time in 52 years the Reds had let in six goals in the league but Rodgers, 42, insisted he still has "a lot to offer the club", despite winning no silverware during his three years in charge.

Liverpool must also now go through two qualifying rounds if they are to compete in the group stage of next season's Europa League.
"A lot has happened this year which has made the job difficult," added Rodgers, who guided the Reds to second place last season.
"Last season, when things were working well, we had the support of everyone but performances like today do not help that and I fully understand that.
"The fans deserve an apology. They were angry at half-time - and rightly so - because that was awful, absolutely awful.
"They have every right to be angry and frustrated and of course I take full responsibility for that as the manager."
Rodgers faces a big rebuilding job in the summer and, as well as Gerrard joining LA Galaxy, there is speculation about the future of young forward Raheem Sterling.
Rodgers dropped Sterling, 20, to the bench at the Britannia Stadium and Liverpool found themselves trailing 5-0 at the interval after a terrible display.
All five goals came in the space of 23 minutes from Mame Biram Diouf, twice, Jonathan Walters, former Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam and Steven Nzonzi.
Gerrard marked his farewell with a consolation goal but there was still time for ex-Liverpool striker Peter Crouch to head a sixth for Stoke five minutes after coming on as a substitute.
Asked about his rebuilding plans, Rodgers added: "There's an awful lot of work to do and the job is to now go and fix that, and make sure we come back with a motivation greater than ever to push on next season.
"We've finished the season in sixth, which is where we deserve to finish.
"We have to now start, today, on the climb to get back up again."

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers accepted his future at the club is in doubt after Steven Gerrard's final match ended in a humiliating defeat.

Slovenia-born Bedene, who plays world number one Novak Djokovic in the third round of the French Open on Saturday, credits his work with Martin Skinner as the platform for his recent success.
"I was really unfit when I started to play grand slams," said Bedene, 26.
"Whenever I played a fourth set I was just losing them quite easily."
He added: "I remember once at the US Open, I lost 6-0 and I was struggling. I really wanted to improve on that.
"It obviously helps not only in the fifth set but also in the other tournaments."
Bedene is buoyed by Thursday's five-set, second-round victory against Pablo Carreno Busta when he recovered from squandering a two-set lead to advance at Roland Garros.
However, he lost his only other meeting with Djokovic in straight sets at the Australian Open in 2015.
He is hoping his experience of winning 16 Challenger and Futures events will stand him in good stead for the game, which is last on the main court.
"I love big crowds," he said. "I won a lot of Italian Challengers, and every time you play the final there are 1,000, 2,000 people, which is a lot for Challengers.
"So I did learn a few things. I know this stadium is bigger, but still you have to come from somewhere."
Djokovic has not hit top form yet and was given a tough test by qualifier Steve Darcis in round two, although he is still to drop a set.
The Serb is expecting more of the same against Bedene, who is being coached at Roland Garros by Britain's Davis Cup captain Leon Smith.
"He's very talented, with a very quick motion for a first serve," said Djokovic. "So I'm expecting a tough one. I know he doesn't have anything to lose."

British number two Aljaz Bedene says he had to employ a strength and conditioning coach to specifically prepare him for grand slam tennis.

"For all its faults", it said, "another Lib-Con Coalition would both prolong recovery and give our kingdom a better chance of continued existence".
But it hoped it would be "much less conservative, and much more liberal".
The Guardian has backed Labour and the Sun the Conservatives - with its sister paper the Scottish Sun backing the SNP.
Other papers which have declared support for a specific party so far include the Mirror, which is backing Labour, and the Financial Times, which called for another Conservative-led administration.
The Independent said it was not telling its readers how to vote but it said it believed democracy was precious and must be revitalised.
It said the Greens had been a "disappointment", while UKIP were against "globalisation and modernity, both of which we welcome".
"The SNP is an agent of change, with impressive leaders in both Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon. But they are a wrecking ball poised to hit Westminster and, unlike us, want to abolish Britain," it said.
It said Ed Miliband had had an impressive campaign, but criticised him on various policies - and warned of any partnership between Labour and the SNP.
"For all his talk of no deals with the SNP, Miliband is bound to rely on that party to get his legislative programme through," it said.
"This would be a disaster for the country, unleashing justified fury in England at the decisive influence of MPs who - unlike this title - do not wish the union to exist."
On the Conservatives, it criticised areas such as "excessive austerity" but said the economy "is now growing reasonably well".
"Many of the good things the coalition has done are owed to the Liberal Democrats," it said.
It particularly picked out "raising the income tax threshold, the pupil premium, early years learning and apprenticeships" as areas where the Lib Dems had been a force for progress.
It concluded: "For all its faults, another Lib-Con coalition would both prolong recovery and give our kingdom a better chance of continued existence.
"This title casts no vote.
"But we prize strong, effective government, consider nationalism guilty until proven innocent, and say that if the present coalition is to get another chance, we hope it is much less conservative, and much more liberal. "

Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is England cricket star Stuart Broad.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The Ashes hero is a Nottingham Forest fan who saw his team beaten 8-1 by Manchester United on his first trip to the City Ground in 1999.
"I remember the guy who was sat in front of us arrived late and left early to avoid the traffic, and he missed about five goals," Broad told BBC Sport.
"So it was a bit of a learning experience - now I always make sure I get to a game early and stay until the end."
Make your predictions now, compare them to Lawro and other fans and try to take your team to the top of the leaderboard by playing the new BBC Sport Predictor game.
Our scoring system has changed this season and a correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is now worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
Last weekend, Lawro got five correct results from 10 Premier League games, including one perfect score.
His score of 80 points saw him beat ex-F1 driver Mark Webber, who picked five correct results with no perfect scores, for a total of 50.
We are keeping a record of the totals for Lawro and his guests (below), and showing a table of how the Premier League would look if all of Lawro's predictions were correct (at the bottom of the page).

Mark Avis and Aaron Saddleton produced the rare feat while playing on the Royal Norwich Golf Club course.
Bookmaker Paddy Power gave the odds of two amateur golfers scoring aces at the same hole as 25 million-to-one.
Morgan Thompson, assistant professional at the club, said the achievement, reported first in the Eastern Daily Press, was "remarkable".
Mr Saddleton, 29, from Norwich, was the first to tee off at the 135-yard hole and was delighted to sink an ace.
But he had little time to celebrate as Mr Avis, 43, of Attleborough, quickly stepped up and repeated the feat.
Mr Thompson said: "I was working in the shop at the time and suddenly saw everybody celebrating.
"I don't think they could quite believe it and it was all they were talking about afterwards."
Mr Thompson said the course averaged one hole-in-one every six months.
The players were on opposing sides in a 2v2 game during a Norfolk Handicapped League match between Sprowston Manor Golf Club and Royal Norwich Golf Club.

She said, if the party was re-elected in May's Scottish Parliament election, it would introduce a more "progressive" local tax from April 2017.
The reforms could see councils given a share of income tax revenues in an effort to give them an "incentive" to boost economic growth.
Last year, a commission on reform called for a "more progressive" tax.
The Commission on Local Tax Reform did not recommend a single alternative but it suggested there could be merit in combining a property-based levy with an element of income tax.
The current council tax charges householders on the value of the property they live in. The rate it is charged at has been frozen by the Scottish government since 2007.
Speaking at the David Hume Institute in Edinburgh, Ms Sturgeon said: "The report from the cross-party Commission on Local Tax Reform made clear that now is the time to reform local taxation.
"The commission argued for measures which will make council tax more progressive, and which will give greater assistance to people on lower incomes.
"So next week we will set out details of how we intend to achieve this from April 2017 onwards.
"These changes will be part of a longer term plan to increase the accountability of local councils to the populations they serve."
Discussions with local authorities are expected to determine how the Scottish Parliament can gain more power over income tax and local authorities can secure a share of income tax revenues for their area.
Asked if councils should be given power over sales and tourism taxes, as recommended by the commission, Ms Sturgeon said priority would be given to the assignation of income tax and other council tax powers would be considered.
"Scotland is a small country and I think it is right that we take steps to incentivise local authorities to boost economic growth in their own areas, but equally I think we have got to be careful about creating a postcode lottery in terms of tax rates in different local authority areas."

The SNP will set out details of its plans on council tax reform next week, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said.

The Duke of Rutland - who lives in Belvoir Castle - was caught speeding twice in Nottinghamshire, once in North Yorkshire and again in Derbyshire in an eight-month period.
He was banned for a year and 15 points were added to the nine he already had.
He was also ordered to pay £3,025 in fines and costs.
The Duke, who was named in Northallerton Magistrates' Court as David Charles Rutland, failed to respond to the fixed penalty notices and a trial was set until his lawyers indicated he would plead guilty.
Rutland did not appear at the hearing which was told he was driving a Land Rover Discovery at the time of the offences.
His solicitor Lisa Wilson said: "He does not wish to minimise the offences. He does not wish to put forward an argument of exceptional hardship.
"The court may consider that with the title he has and the property he resides in the defendant is of considerable means."
Rutland, whose wealth was estimated at £140m by the Sunday Times Rich List, lives in the family seat of Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, set in 18,000 acres of land.
It has been the backdrop for several films including The Young Victoria and the Da Vinci Code while Haddon Hall in Derbyshire - also owned by the family - featured in Pride and Prejudice in 2005.
The offences:
Rutland was ordered to pay £2,550 in fines, £400 in costs and a £75 victim surcharge.

It has estimated that £5bn will have been spent in Britain's shops over the weekend, as millions of people stocked up on food, drink and presents.
The BRC says many shoppers waited until the last minute to pick up a bargain.
Meanwhile, several retailers are reportedly bringing their online sales forward to Christmas Eve.
High streets, shopping centres and supermarkets were reportedly packed with shoppers on the last few trading days before Christmas.
Many retailers have already started discounting products in advance of the traditional "Boxing Day" sales.
Saturday was expected to have been the busiest day of the year on the high street, with credit card company Visa Europe predicting more than 31 million transactions.
Richard Dodd, head of media and campaigns at the BRC, said: "People have left it very late this year because of their reluctance to spend. They are holding out for bargains.
"It's been a very busy weekend which will be crucial to delivering a Christmas that is acceptable, rather than exceptional," he added.
Supermarket chain Sainsbury's said the hour between 12:00 and 13:00 GMT on Sunday was its busiest hour ever in terms of the number of customers served.
The company said it expected to sell 225,000 bottles of champagne, 56 million mince pies, 52 million Brussels sprouts and 6,500 tonnes of potatoes over the festive period.
Traders in London's West End had predicted that one million people would shop in the area during the three days leading to Christmas Eve, spending an estimated £100m.
At Brent Cross shopping centre in north London, centre manager Tom Nathan said the weekend would be their busiest period because schools had broken up late and Christmas Day was on a Tuesday.
Elsewhere, Bluewater shopping centre in Kent expected more than 275,000 shoppers to pass through in the days before Christmas Eve, while Birmingham's Bullring centre predicted it would welcome about 340,000 consumers.
Bullring general manager Tim Walley said: "This Christmas we essentially have an extra weekend of trading in comparison to December 2011, so we're expecting a bumper weekend."
But despite optimism in some quarters, the Local Government Association (LGA) said confidence on the high street remained low.
Its annual Christmas survey found that 84% of town centre managers said confidence among shoppers had either not improved or worsened compared to Christmas 2011.
A cold and wet start to the winter could also be taking its toll on the number of shoppers visiting town centres, the LGA concluded.

Christmas sales figures are likely to be "acceptable" rather than "exceptional", the British Retail Consortium (BRC) has predicted.

The motto Nil Satis Nisi Optimum, which means "nothing but the best is good enough", dates back 75 years but disappeared as part of a redesign.
The club apologised in May after 22,000 fans signed an online petition condemning the "awful" 2013-2014 badge.
Fans can vote on three new designs on the club website from Monday.
Club communications director Alan Myers said: "There were clear messages that have come out from fans as to what they want.
"The motto Nil Satis Nisi Optimum will be on the new crest because 95% to 96% of fans said they want it and that's what we wanted."
Everton consulted more than 200,000 fans and also players following criticism of the "embarrassing" new crest.
The club said one fan travelled from Spain to Goodison Park to have his say about the redesign - even though he was advised an online form was available.
The new crest ideas will be unveiled on Monday 23 September.

Everton FC are to restore the club's motto to their crest after its removal prompted outrage from thousands of fans.

Belfast man Frampton, 28, outpointed Scott Quigg on Saturday to add the WBA world title to his IBF belt.
On Wednesday, WBA bosses said that their former champion Rigondeaux, 35, must be Frampton's next opponent.
Frampton's manager Barry McGuigan has consistently ruled out the Cuban as a possible opponent for his fighter.
"He's amazing on the back foot but he's negative," McGuigan said of Rigondeaux, who fights Briton Jazza Dickens in Liverpool on 12 March.
"What do we gain by fighting him?"
McGuigan's view is that Rigondeaux, who was stripped of both the WBO and WBA belts last year for inactivity, brings little to the table in terms of television or fan appeal.
After Rigondeaux was stripped of the title, the world governing body promoted Quigg from interim WBA super-bantamweight belt holder to champion.
However, the WBA have now said that unbeaten Rigondeaux's "impressive record and accomplishments" mean that he must be Frampton's next opponent.
The WBA said it was "honoured" to have Frampton as its champion, adding: "We congratulate him on a performance that was as intelligent as it was effective."
In spite of the WBA's directive, it is far from certain that Frampton will agree to the Rigondeaux fight, so there appears a strong possibility that the Northern Irishman may give up the WBA belt.
After Frampton's win on Saturday, McGuigan said that a contest with Mexico's WBA featherweight champion Leo Santa Cruz was an "obvious fight".
Rigondeaux has won all 16 of his professional bouts.

Carl Frampton must fight Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux by 27 July to avoid being stripped of one of his two world super-bantamweight titles.

Carl Marsh, 46, of Knutsford, Cheshire suffered fatal injuries at Black Knights Parachute Centre in Cockerham, near Lancaster on Saturday.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The British Parachute Association (BPA) said the jump Mr Marsh was executing could only have been attempted by an experienced parachutist like Mr Marsh.
Tony Butler, the BPA's chief operating officer, is leading the probe into the death and said it was his "top priority".
He estimated it would take about a month to complete his investigation and he would send his findings to the Civil Aviation Authority, the police and the coroner as well as the BPA's training committee.
Lancashire Police, which is supporting the BPA's investigation, said there were not thought to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
Mr Marsh's relatives said he was a "much-loved" family man with an "enormous heart".

Brighton and Hove City Council has set up a cross-party panel to look into the issue of the "party houses".
There are about 300 in the city, with concerns about the problems they cause most evident in the Queen's Park area.
Chair of the panel Geoffrey Bowden said: "We don't want to be killjoys... but there are responsibilities."
The councillor said the properties were houses "which sit cheek by jowl with families which live there all the time".
"There are some really superb operators, and they do certainly take care
"We need to bottom-out whether these are businesses or not, because if they are businesses then they should be paying business rates, and they should be paying for commercial waste to be taken away," Mr Bowden said.
The panel plans to gather evidence from as many people as possible, including the owners of "party houses", before reporting back to the full council.
Mr Bowden said: "People having a decadent weekend is one thing, but if you live next door and have to get up for work in the morning you might take a more hardline approach."

She had been widely tipped as the politician who would take over from the former deputy first minister, who retired partly due to illness.
The 40-year-old County Tyrone woman is the current health minister having previously been agriculture minister.
She paid a warm tribute to Mr McGuinness and said she was "following in the footsteps of a political giant".
She said "no-one can replace Martin" but said she would continue the work he started.
Mrs O'Neill will have just five weeks to prepare for an election after Stormont's power-sharing coalition fell apart over a botched energy scheme scandal.
The fallout from the Renewable Heat Incentive scandal, which is approximately £490m over budget, led to Mr McGuinness' quitting after DUP leader Arlene Foster refused to stand aside as first minster while an investigation was carried out.
As they hold a joint office, his resignation automatically put Mrs Foster out of her job and prompted the calling of snap elections on 2 March.
Mrs O'Neill described her new role as "the biggest honour and privilege of my life".
"I have never been afraid of challenge and I have never been afraid to act," she added.
She referred to her first act as health minister last year, when she ended Northern Ireland's blanket ban on gay men donating blood.
Mr McGuinness said he was "overjoyed" at her appointment, which he said was part of a "generational change" within his party.
He said that as health minister she had already taken on one of Stormont's toughest portfolios, adding that Sinn Féin did not appoint people to such ministerial posts unless they had the "all-round ability to manage very difficult situations".
Tackling mounting hospital waiting lists has been a huge task for Mrs O'Neill since she was appointed health minister last May.
In October, she launched a 10-year plan to transform the health service, saying it would improve a system that was at "breaking point".
Opposition politicians questioned the lack of details in the plan, which was not costed.
But it set out a range of priorities, including a new model of care involving a team of professionals based around GP surgeries.
Mrs O'Neill was first elected to the assembly in Mid Ulster in 2007 and has held various senior positions within Sinn Féin.
She has worked for the party since 1998, initially as political adviser to MP and former MLA Francie Molloy, before being elected to Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council in 2005.
In 2011, she was appointed as minister for agriculture and rural development.
The following year, she announced the department would move to a former British army barracks in Ballykelly, County Londonderry.
After the announcement, it came to light that Strabane had been chosen as a more suitable location by an internal DARD assessment, a decision that Mrs O'Neill then overruled.
In February 2013, it was also revealed that the decision had been questioned by then Finance Minister Sammy Wilson.

He scored 20 tries in 22 games on loan at Championship side Swinton in 2016 on a dual registration deal, while also working as a trainee accountant.
"I'm really, really pleased for Liam," Wane told BBC Radio 5 live.
"His effort in training has been fantastic. With the pre-season he's had, he earned the right to play.
"I thought they were four quality tries and quality finishes.
"It is a shot in the arm for our youth system as it shows to everybody that a first-team start is never that far away. You just take your chances when they come and he's taken his."
Wane also confirmed that England forward John Bateman is expected to be out for three months with a shoulder injury.

The 28-year-old failed to make a appearance for the Australian side after joining on a two-year deal from St Helens at the start of the season.
Turner, a title winner with Saints in 2014, did however play in the NRL All Stars game earlier this year.
"I'm excited to be returning home to the UK with Huddersfield," he said.
"Last year I took an opportunity that was given to me to head out to Canberra knowing how difficult it would be for me and my partner on the other side of the world and was keen to stick it out.
"In the last few months I have had plenty of opportunities to return home but turned those chances down."
Giants head coach Rick Stone said Turner comes in to replace Ryan Brierley who joined League One side Toronto in April.
"We have been looking to fill a gap ever since Ryan moved on and I am delighted that our patience has been rewarded with such a good acquisition," Stone said.
Turner, who played more than 100 times for Saints and also previously featured for Salford and Hull FC, joins a Huddersfield side third-from-bottom in Super League, with his deal announced after they were beaten 28-26 at Wakefield.

Her reputation has been dented by a corruption scandal, known as Cashgate, which has led donors to cut aid.
Her main challengers are Mr Mutharika's brother, Peter, Atupele Muluzi - the son of another former president - and a former preacher, Lazarus Chakwera.

Competitive election
Mr Chakwera is the candidate of the Malawi Congress Party, which governed from independence in 1964 until the first multi-party poll in 1994.
Voting was delayed in parts of the largest city, Blantyre, due to a shortage of election material.
"There's no ink. We're still waiting for the consignment," one of the officials told the crowd, reports the Reuters news agency.
There are reports of angry scenes at some polling stations.
But in the capital, Lilongwe, voting mostly started on time, Reuters reports.
Mrs Banda has denied any wrong-doing in relation to Cashgate and last week told the BBC that the fact the affair has gone to court was her "greatest achievement" because in the past, such scandals would have been covered up.
Scores of officials, including former ministers, have been arrested over the scandal, often with large amounts of cash. Up to $250m (£150m) may have been lost through allegedly fraudulent payments.
Analysts say that despite the close race, she is likely to win because of her popularity in rural areas.
The candidate with the most votes is declared the winner of the presidential race - there is no run-off.
There is a total of 12 presidential candidates.
Parliamentary and local elections are being held at the same time.
Malawi is one the poorest countries in the world and is heavily dependent on aid, with donors proving 40% of the budget.

Eoin Farrell and his friend died in the single-car collision in Rostrevor just before midnight on Monday. Another of their friends was critically injured.
They all attended courses at the Southern Regional College in Armagh.
Eoin's father, Gerard Farrell, paid tribute to all three, adding he had lost a "great son" who "loved life".
He described the fatal crash as an "awful tragedy" which had come as a terrible shock to their family.
The car his son was travelling in struck the wall of a house and crashed into a field on the Kilbroney Road.
The other teenager who died at the scene has been named locally as James Miskelly, from Mayobridge, County Down.
Eoin, who was 17, lived at his parents' home in Rostrevor. In addition to attending to studying motor vehicle maintenance at the college's Armagh campus, he worked as a trainee lorry mechanic in Newry, County Down.
"Eoin was just fun-loving, easy-going, loved working," Mr Farrell told the BBC.
"He came home in the evenings, he was only in the house five minutes and he was away with the other boys... working at cars or doing a bit of farming or fishing, always on the go, always enjoying life, always with his cheeky smile.
"There wasn't a bad bone in him. Great son, just a great, great son. We all loved him."
He described how he was woken in the early hours of Tuesday morning by news of his son's death.
"It was an awful shock at four o'clock yesterday morning. I was texting him and ringing him to see where he was, was he coming home, because he was going to Tech on Tuesday morning with James in Armagh.
"The week before he stayed in James' house and I thought that's where he was going. I rang him at five to twelve, and his phone was flat since eight o'clock. But then we got the knock at the door at five to four, and we knew something wasn't right."
Mr Farrell also expressed his sympathy to the families of the other victims killed and injured in the collision and said his "thoughts and prayers" were with them.
"An awful tragedy, I wouldn't wish it on anybody," he said.
The chief executive of the Southern Regional College, Brian Doran, said it was "absolutely tragic news" that had left staff and fellow students in "a state of shock".
"Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the Miskelly and Farrell families at this time," Mr Doran said.
"Two young men cut down in the prime of their lives, it's been an absolute shock to everyone here at the college and, most notably, to their classmates."
He added: "The students, as you will appreciate were in a state of shock and we've been working with the students to provide them with support."

The Intercontinental Cup loss drops Ireland from first to second in the table with two matches to go, Ireland next playing the Netherlands in August.
The winner of the group will play off against the lowest ranked Test side (currently Zimbabwe) in 2018 for full status.
The three-day loss is only Ireland's third in the 13-year history of the tournament.
Resuming their first innings on 170-7 - still 367 runs in arrears - John Anderson showed the necessary application as he scored an unbeaten 61 from 175 balls.
He has now passed the 50 mark in all five matches he has played in the competition.
He received admirable support from the tail, sharing stands of 43 with Andrew McBrine (18) for the eighth wicket and 41 for the last with Peter Chase (18) as Ireland added 91 to their overnight total.
The determination with which the Irish tail had resisted Afghanistan and leg-spinner Rashid Khan - who failed to add to his five-wicket tally - offered hope the Irish could mount a spirited resistance with the bat.
It was not to be, however, as Mohammed Nabi took six wickets in Ireland's second innings, and teenage leg-spinner Rashid 3-44, leaving both with a match haul of eight wickets apiece.
The dismissals of Anderson and Joyce in the same Nabi over seemed to knock all resistance out of the Irish, with Niall O'Brien and Gary Wilson the joint top scorers with only 15 apiece.
Ireland's next match in the competition is against Netherlands at home in August before they finish with a clash against Scotland in the UAE.
They will now have to rely on results elsewhere - hoping either Hong Kong or UAE can do them a favour - if they are to have any hope of retaining their title and going forward to the Test Challenge.
Before then, they will face England in two one-day internationals at Bristol and Lord's on 5 and 7 May.

Ireland's hopes of qualifying for the Test Challenge - and the chance to become a full-member nation of the ICC - suffered a serious blow as they slumped to an innings and 172-run defeat by Afghanistan in Greater Noida.

He was a reserve player at Derby before his career was ended by injury.
Guthrie became the Rams' trainer and then kit manager, working with more than a dozen managers including Brian Clough over the course of six decades.
He was appointed an MBE in 2009 for services to football and has a stand named after him at the iPro Stadium.
Despite falling ill four years ago, he was still a regular on match days and usually sat in his familiar seat in the home dugout until very recently.
"It goes without saying everyone at Derby County is saddened to learn of the passing of Gordon," said Sam Rush, the club's president and chief executive.
"Our thoughts and condolences are with Gordon's family and friends at this time."
A minute's silence will be held in memory of Guthrie prior to Derby's EFL Cup third-round tie against Liverpool on Tuesday.
Former striker Andy Garner, who began his career at Derby and more recently was part of their coaching staff, said Guthrie was like a father figure to youngsters at the club.
"I found it quite daunting, being a young man and coming to Derby from a small village," Garner told BBC Radio Derby.
"Although I was a big, strong lad, I needed somebody like Gordie. I was lonely at times and he definitely helped me.
"It was a joy for me. I absolutely loved my two-year apprenticeship and Gordie was always there for us. The players and the staff all loved him being there."

More than two million spectators watched the three-day Tour de Yorkshire, won by Thomas Voeckler.
Christian Prudhomme said: "The Tour de Yorkshire is on the podium for being one of the best bike races in the world and for me the best public for cycling in the world."
Frenchman Voeckler said the crowd "makes me want to come back next year".
The Direct Energie rider added: "When you see all the crowds on the road, I am sure that in 20 to 30 years there will still be a Tour de Yorkshire so I am really happy that my name is on the winner's list."
An estimated 2.5m people watched the opening two stages of the Tour de France when they were held in Yorkshire in 2014.
Voeckler clinched overall victory in the Tour de Yorkshire on Sunday by beating Team Sky's Nicolas Roche in a sprint finish to win the third and final stage over 123 miles from Middlesbrough to Scarborough.
The race is in its second year and Prudhomme said: "There have been huge crowds, huge enthusiastic crowds who respect the riders.
"The people of Yorkshire have passion and pride. I love what the Tour de Yorkshire has done for children who are watching this on the route and at the start and finish lines.
"These are memories that those children will never forget. The passion is growing and growing."

Yorkshire is "fast becoming the heartland of cycling", according to the director of the Tour de France.

The big difference is that the numbers from which you make your six selections will go up in October from one to 49 to one to 59.
While this doesn't sound like it will make a huge difference, it actually takes your odds of winning the jackpot from one in 14 million to one in 45 million.
Camelot, which runs the lottery, says that the new system will create bigger, rolling jackpots, which is true. Because it is so much less likely that anybody will win the top prize, there will be many more rollovers.
It also says that the chances of winning a prize have increased, which is true, because people who match two numbers will get a free go on the game the following week.
The chances of winning a cash prize, however, have fallen considerably.
There will also be a raffle that will give prizes of £1m and £20,000, for which the odds of winning depend on the number of entries, but the organisers estimate that you have a one in 10 million chance of winning either £1m on the raffle or the jackpot.
This change comes only two years after the last set of changes, which doubled the price of a ticket to £2 but introduced the raffle with £20,000 prizes.
At the time, the prize for matching three balls increased from £10 to £25. The odds of matching three balls were unchanged, but of course the cost of entry had doubled, which effectively doubled the odds (because £2 would previously have bought two tickets).
The estimated prize for matching five balls plus the bonus ball fell from £100,000 to £50,000 while the prize for matching five balls went from £1,500 to £1,000.
It appears that the Lotto organisers have discovered that what persuades people to buy lottery tickets is rollovers to create enormous prizes.
Camelot's commentary in its financial reporting about the effect that Euromillions rollovers (or the lack of them) have on ticket sales is very clear about that.
The company is clearly counting on the lengthening odds of winning both vast amounts of money and small and middling sums having less effect.
Because honestly, who can cope in their head with the difference between odds of 14 million to one and odds of 45 million to one?
It's like comparing the odds of flipping a coin and getting 22 consecutive heads with the odds of getting 24.
They both represent staggeringly unlikely events - it's just that in the case of a lottery it happens to someone every now and then.

There has been outrage on some front pages about the shake-up to the Lotto game announced this week.

HIV, which causes Aids, emerged in humans in the 20th Century, but scientists have long known that similar viruses in monkeys and apes have existed for much longer.
A genetic study shows HIV-like viruses arose in African monkeys and apes 5 million to 12 million years ago.
The research may one day lead to a better understanding of HIV and Aids.
HIV affects 34 million people worldwide.
The disease emerged during the 20th century after a HIV-like virus jumped from chimps to humans.
Scientists have long known that similar viruses, known as lentiviruses, are widespread in African primates.
Past genetic research has suggested these "cousins" of HIV arose tens of thousands of years ago, but some experts have suspected this is an underestimate.
Scientists at the University of Washington in Seattle, US, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, also in Seattle, looked at the genetic signatures of HIV-like viruses in a number of primates, including chimps, gorillas, orang utans and macaques.
Changes in genes that have evolved in the immune systems of monkeys and apes in Africa suggest the viruses arose between 5 and 16 million years ago.
The research, published in the journal PLOS Pathogens, gives clues to how the immune systems of our closest relatives evolved to fight infection.
Dr Michael Emerman of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center said: "Our study reveals that, while primate lentiviruses may have modern consequences for human health, they have ancient origins in our non-human primate relatives."
Commenting on the study, Dr Sam Wilson of the MRC - University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research in Glasgow, said: "This kind of research helps us understand how the virus works.
"The hope is that one day this will translate into therapy."

The origins of HIV can be traced back millions rather than tens of thousands of years, research suggests.
