Glenavon have bolstered their ranks with the signing of three players ahead of the January transfer window.
Gary Hamilton has brought in Dylan Davidson, Danny Purkis and Conan Byrne.
Midfielder Davidson was previously with Glentoran and Coleraine and joins Glenavon on-loan from H&W Welders until the end of the season.
Striker Purkis (24) - who had spells with Glentoran and the Welders - joins from East Belfast on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
Experienced midfielder Byrne (34) joins on an 18-month deal after spending six seasons with St Patrick's Athletic and most recently Shelbourne.
“There’s no denying that we’re conceding too many goals and we’re not scoring enough goals," Hamilton told the club's website.
"We have to try and stop both of those problems so we’re speaking to attacking and defensive players. I want to be a successful manager, I want to challenge for trophies and I don’t want to be down in relegation fights.
"If we kept conceding goals the way we have been and not scoring goals then that’s one place we were going. At the end of the day the buck stops with me, I pick the team and I’m responsible for who plays for the club."
He added: “We’ve gone out and brought in three players who, in my opinion, will contribute to goals.
"Danny has scored 45 goals already this season for East Belfast. No matter what league you’re playing in, for anybody to score that number of goals by this time of the year is an incredible achievement."
Hamilton also said: “With Conan, it’s goals. If you look at his career in the League of Ireland, his stats at St. Pat’s, he’s scored near enough one in four from right wing and that’s big going for any winger in any league.
"He brings goals and experience to the team; he’s played for a big club and, if you look at our squad, we maybe lack enough players who have been in pressure situations, where they’re playing for fans that demand results and success."
The Lurgan Blues boss also believes Davidson can score goals and provide assists.
“We’re hoping that Dylan will come in and give us that and Josh (Daniels) can play right wing and through the middle as well so it gives us options," he said.
"I feel Dylan is a top player as well, he’s young, he’s hungry and he’s got a great left foot and he puts great balls into the box. Already this season for the Welders he’s set up 19 goals – and he missed six or seven games."
