Scottish right-back Stephen Wright has rejoined the club on non-contract terms, and will be available for next weeks FA Cup tie at Northwich Victoria as Stuart Balmer sits out through suspension.

There is speculation that Wright may remain with the club for longer, but is already contracted to join Dundee in the New Year so this appears unlikely. Brian Laws believes that it will only be for the next two games, barring any more injury problems.

28-year-old midfielder Ian Kilford has also joined on a similar deal, the former Wigan Athletic player has been training with third division Bury so far this season. He has been named in tomorrow's squad to face Boston.

He is in contention for a plce in the starting lineup, with Wayne Graves strugglign with a hamstring injury which has prevented him from training all week. Peter Beagrie is likely to feature, despite facing an achilles operation two days later.

On loan forward Lee Featherstone has been granted permission to play in next week's FA Cup tie, even though it would rule him out of any future cup game once he returns to his parent club Sheffield United.
