Town have signed goalkeeper Arran Lee-Barrett on a short term contract.

The 25-year-old Ipswich born stopper was at the Club as a youth but began his League career at Cardiff, making one appearance for the Bluebirds.

He then had spells at Weymouth and Coventry before joining Hartlepool in the summer of 2007.

Lee established himself as No.1 at Victoria Park last season and was a virtual ever present in the side until getting a red card at Southend in March.

He was released by the League One club in the summer after making 60 appearances for the club and has kept fit by training with Town recently.

Lee goes straight into the squad for Saturday's game at West Brom.
