New Whitby Town Striker Connor Simpson could make his debut in today's home fixture against Atherton Collieries.
Simpson signed from Marske United this week as the blues continue their battle to get out of the relegation zone.
The tall forward, has played professionally at Hartlepool United, Preston North End, and Cork City, with loan spells at Carlisle United and Accrington Stanley.
Simpson has also gained valuable non-league experience with fellow Northern Premier League sides Lancaster City and Hyde United.
Simpson, who has also spent time with Welsh Premier League outfit Connah's Quay Nomads, told whitbytownfc.com:
"Hopefully, coming into the team, I can provide a lot of goals. When speaking to the management, that's the main problem at Whitby.
"When we played against Whitby when I was at Marske, they created a lot of chances but for some reason they couldn't put it in the back of the net. That's what I feel I can do.
"My main strength is being in the box and my meat and drink is when you get balls into the box. I can also get it down on the floor so I'm not just used as a 'head on the stick' as I've been called before. I can mix it up."
Town Manager, Nathan Haslam, says the team have performed better of late but that they still have plenty to prove on the pitch.
Haslam is determined his side will return to winning ways today.
With the blues currently third from bottom, Nathan says the focus is getting out of the relegation zone, he says there is an opportunity today against mid table Atherton.
All under 18's get free entry to today's game at the Towbar Express stadium.
