Accrington Stanley have signed midfielder Kaid Mohamed on non-contract terms.
The 31 year-old has played for numerous Football League clubs during his career including Swindon, Cheltenham, Port Vale and Northampton. Mohamed started the season at Welsh club Port Talbot but has now decided to return to English football.
The new signing expressed his delight at the transfer, telling the club's official website, “I'm excited. I haven't played since January when I got injured for Northampton but I'm feeling fit and strong now. I'm looking forward to getting started again.”
Stanley manager John Coleman told reporters, “(Mohamed's) experience will be an asset and we like to think that he'll bring goals. He scored a couple in a game we played during the week against Oldham so he gives us a different option. I think it's important to strengthen from a position of strength rather than being desperate to add players.
“He can play out wide or in a more central position and that's the beauty of bringing him into the squad. He can occupy several positions in midfield or going forward,” Coleman concluded.
The Welshman will wear the number 39 shirt for Accrington this season, and goes straight into the squad to face Barnet at the Hive Stadium on Saturday.
