Darlington have signed Peterborough United striker Liam Hatch on a three-month loan deal.

The 26-year-old is unlikely to feature this weekend due to an ankle injury, but will boost the Quakers strikeforce as they bid to push for promotion again.

Hatch joined the Posh from Barnet in January, but has scored just twice since then, making only one start for the London Road club.

Posh director of football Barry Fry had earlier said: "We have had seven or eight clubs approach us about either buying or loaning Liam.

"The gaffer does not want to sell him, but wants him playing, hence the need to go to a club where it is going to happen."

Meanwhile, the Quakers have extended Ipswich Town striker Billy Clarke's loan stay into a second month.
