But the Diamonds manager is hoping to give him minutes before the end of the season with a view to him staying on for the next campaign.

“Michael has played a lot of games in the Football League,” Nunn added.

“He lives in Wellingborough and he’s played a few games for Bedford this season.

“He’s not fit at the moment, he’ll need a couple of weeks but we are hopeful he will get some game time.

“But he’s going to be a good person to have around the squad with his experience and hopefully he can help us this season and next.”
