Scarborough Athletic face one of their longest trips of the season on Saturday.
Boro's last match before Christmas takes them to Peterborough Sports in National North.
The club are pleased to announce the signing of goalkeeper Alex Walpole on an initial month's loan from Huddersfield.
Assistant Manager Michael Ingham said:
"Having been on loan at Blyth and Ossett, he’s already had some time in the men’s game at a young age so we are really looking forward to working with him."
Walpole will go straight into Saturday's squad, but boss Jono Greening told SAFC TV he's gutted to be without defender Alex Brown:
"He's been tested by physios. I think he's had some kind of scan and he's got a tear in his hamstring. So instead of being available for the next game, potentially we could lose him for four-to-six weeks. It's a massive blow to us, while the injuries he's had this year show what a player he is to us, especially his relationship with Greeny [Harry Green] going down the left, the pair work really well.
"And yeah, it's disappointing for him. It's disappointing for us and we actually, we just have to deal with that."
Greening also told SAFC TV it won't affect his side that they dropped out of the play off places after Tuesday's defeat against Radcliffe:
"It shouldn't affect the players in any way really because they're a great bunch, like I always say, win, lose or draw. They are a really good bunch and we know we need to play better. We know we can't give stupid goals away, but we just keep working hard in training. We know that we've still got a game in hand or maybe two, I don't know, and we just need to concentrate on the next game, which is Peterborough Sports."
Kick-off is 3pm and we have full commentary on This Is The Coast Extra.
