Christie started his career with Coventry City

AFC Telford United have signed the former Mansfield and Kidderminster striker Iyseden Christie.

The 32-year-old has agreed to join the Bucks after a move to Hibernians in Malta fell through.

Christie told BBC Radio Shropshire: "If I help get the club into the Conference then I think I'd be able to get them into the League."

Meanwhile Tamworth duo Stuart Nicholson and Gavin Hurren have both joined Telford on a month's loan.

Like Christie, Hurren has also previously played for Mansfield and Kidderminster, and the pair were together for a while at Harriers.

Hurren joined Tamworth in the summer from Crawley Town but a minor injury has kept him out of the side.

"It's been really frustrating," he said. "I've come back from it now, but the lads at Tamworth have been doing so well in the league it's been difficult for me to get back into the side."

All three new signings could feature against Alfreton Town on 12 September after the 2-1 defeat by Northwich Victoria on Tuesday night.
