ACCRINGTON Stanley have signed winger Kaid Mohamed on non-contract terms after he impressed on trial with the Reds.

The 31-year-old has featured in a couple of behind closed doors games for John Coleman’s side, scoring twice against Oldham earlier this week.

He had been without a club having been released by League One side Port Vale in the summer, and he hasn’t played competitively since picking up an injury while on loan with Northampton in League Two in January.

Mohamed, who started his career in the Welsh Premier League, has signed on non-contract terms and goes straight into the Stanley squad for tomorrow’s trip to Barnet.

And Coleman is convinced the know-how Mohamed will bring to what is a youthful Stanley squad will be a benefit to the Reds.

“His experience will be an asset and we’d like to think he’ll bring goals,” said Coleman.

“He scored a couple in the game against Oldham we played here this week.

“He gives us a different option and I think it’s important to strengthen from a position of strength rather than being desperate to strengthen and putting plasters on things.

“The beauty of bringing him into the squad is he covers several positions in midfield and going forward.”

Mohamed moved into English football when he signed for Swindon Town, and he has since represented Torquay United, Forest Green Rovers, Newport County, Bath City, AFC Wimbledon, Cheltenham Town and Bristol Rovers, as well as Port Vale and Northampton.

His most successful spell game with Cheltenham, where he scored 18 goals in 100 games, form which earned him a move to Vale Park.

He has been training with Stanley recently and seeking to regain match fitness.

And Mohamed, who can play up front as well as in wide or attacking midfield positions, admits he can’t wait to get started at the Wham Stadium.

“I’m excited,” he said. “I haven’t played since January when I got injured for Northampton but I’m feeling fit and strong now. The boys are doing really well, flying, though they had a bad result last week but hopefully I can come in and help the guys.”
