Quakers snare Parker

Darlington manager Dave Penney has strengthened his injury-ravaged squad with the loan capture of Leeds United defender Ben Parker.

The 20-year-old made his United debut in the Carling Cup win at Macclesfield Town earlier this season and has gone on to make 14 more appearances for the League One side.

However, he has not featured in the United first team for over a month.

Parker spent last term on loan with Bradford City, making 41 appearances for the Bantams.

The Quakers currently have seven players sidelined through injury, while another four member of Penney's first-team squad will be suspended this weekend.
