Exodus Geoghaghon makes his Darlington debut in this evening's game at Stockport County.
He trained with Quakers yesterday with a view to playing this evening, as revealed in today's The Northern Echo, and lines up .
Geoghaghon is a player that manager Mark Cooper has wanted to bring to the Arena for a period of time having also worked with him at Kettering before taking him to Peterborough.
The giant centre-back, who has also played for Rotherham, Shrewsbury, Port Vale and Barnet, is one of six changes as Cooper seeks a reaction to Saturday's defeat at Bath City.
Cooper, fresh from receiving strong backing from chairman Raj Singh, recalls Jonatan Sanchez-Munoz, Jamie Chandler, Adam Rundle, Chris Atkinson and Aaron Brown.
Brown has recovered from a thigh problem that meant he missed the last two games and he is expected to play left-midfield today with Kris Taylor at left-back.
Out of Saturday's line-up are Graeme Lee, who is suspended, while Paul Arnison has ankle injury. He had to be stretchered from the field at Bath, but after undergoing a scan yesterday hopes to back in training in around ten days' time.
Also not in today's line-up are Michael Brough, Tadhg Purcell, Marc Bridge-Wilkinson and John McReady.
Among the substitutes are Purcell, Bridge-Wilkinson and youth team player Scott Harrison.
With Lee suspended and Ian Miller injured, Jamie Chandler takes the captain's arm band.
Stockport County: Glennon, Holden, O'Donnell, Nolan, Miles, Sheridan, Chadwick, Elliott, Brahim-Bounab, Paton, Edwards. Subs: Ormson (gk), German, Whitehead, McCann, Blackburn
Darlington (4-4-2): Soderberg; G Taylor, Sanchez-Munoz, Geoghaghon, K Taylor; Rundle, Chandler, Atkinson, Brown; Walshaw, Hatch. Subs: Russell (gk), Purcell, Bowman, Harrison, Bridge-Wilkinson
