Darlington’s search for a striker has ended with the capture of Jefferson Louis.

The 31-year-old goes into the squad for tomorrow’s home game with Hayes & Yeading and takes squad number 30.

With his team struggling for goals, scoring only twice in the last four games, manager Mark Cooper has been looking for a forward in recent weeks with Danny Powell arriving on loan from MK Dons.

But Liam Hatch is struggling with injury and form while Tommy Wright has only just returned to action following an ankle problem.

So Cooper has turned to Louis who is a veteran of the non-league scene having represented 21 different clubs.

He finished last season with Rushden & Diamonds and started the current campaign with Gainsborough Trinity in the Blue Square North division.

At 6ft 2in he represents a different type of forward to Leon Knight who Cooper came close to signing last month.
