Derry City have made their second signing in as many days with James Akintunde joining until the end of the season.
The striker, 24, arrives from Maidenhead United and previously played for Chester and Cambridge United.
Candystripes boss Declan Devine was impressed by the Londonder during his recent trial and snapped him up ahead of next Friday's transfer deadline.
“He’s the type of player we’ve been after- strong and direct and he has looked good since coming in,” said Devine.
“He can play anywhere across the front three and will give us good options in attack.”
Devine added: “He’s here until the end of the season initially but if things go well over the next few weeks I’d be hopeful he’ll be here longer.”
“I think he’s another player that our supporters will enjoy watching.”
Meanwhile, Celtic have offered Derry another chance to play them in Glasgow after friendly plans this Saturday fell through.
The Brandywell club had hoped to travel to Scotland until the FAI refused to sanction the game.
Devine said: “We all went and got tested and did everything by the book and then at the last minute the FAI wouldn’t sanction it as far as I know.
“It’s disappointing but at the same time, Celtic have given us an assurance they will have us over at a time that suits in the coming months.
“It was vitally important that as a club we took guidance and listened to the powers that be.”
