The ex York City, Bury and Wrexham striker signs from AFC Halifax after manager Paul Carden targeted the 32 year old to lead the Port line.

Paul Carden said: “Andy is exactly what Ive been looking for, we talked in the summer and now after five matches Andy is with us.

“Andy adds a great deal to our squad in terms of playing ability and experience.

“He will hold the ball up, get others playing and he scores goals.

“We talked to AFC Halifax through Neil Aspin and their chairman. This deal has taken all week so I am very pleased to have got it completed before the Bank Holiday fixtures.”
