Mansfield Town have signed midfield duo Kevin Horlock and Neil Wainwright on loan until the end of the season from Scunthorpe and Darlington respectively.

The pair put pen to paper at Field Mill on Friday and have signed in time to make their debuts in Saturday's home clash with Grimsby Town.

Horlock, 35, signed for Scunthorpe from Doncaster in January but is yet to feature in a league game for the Iron.

Wainwright, 30, has already had a loan spell at Shrewsbury this season.
