Former England international Paul Merson will join Tamworth today for the rest of the season, and is expected to play in Saturday's match with Halifax.
Merson, 37, was sacked as manager by Walsall two weeks ago and was immediately chased by a string of clubs for his playing services. Notts Forest were favourites for his signature until Gary Megson was sacked last week.
In other Conference transfer news, Cambridge have added Lincoln defender Matt Bloomer on loan for the rest of the season. Bloomer has played just seven times for Lincoln this season, and has just returned from a loan spell from Grimsby. Altrincham have allowed midfielder James Robinson to take up an offer to play in Australia. The former Accrington man scored four times in 13 appearances for Alty.
