Northampton Town have signed former Lincoln City centre-back TJ Eyoma on a short-term contract.
The 24-year-old was released by the Imps after making 33 appearances last season, 26 of them in League One, and scoring three goals.
Eyoma began his career at Tottenham Hotspur and had two loan spells with Lincoln before joining them on a permanent basis in the summer of 2021.
“Given the busy schedule of games we have over the next few months and the players we are missing, I felt we needed more help and depth in that particular area,” said Cobbler boss Jon Brady.
“He comes in fit and ready to go and we are pleased to welcome him to Sixfields.
“Whilst it isn’t always ideal, we have shown how short-term deals have been very helpful over the past few seasons and luckily we have a good recruitment structure behind the scenes to be prepared to know the players who are available in these situations.”
Northampton host non-league Kettering Town on Saturday to be followed by an EFL Trophy game against Leicester City Under-21s on Tuesday.
They return to League One action on 9 November with an away game against leaders Birmingham City.
