Morris played a key role in Burton's promotion to the Football League

Mansfield Town have signed Hereford United striker Lee Morris on an emergency loan until January.

Morris, who helped Burton Albion to promotion for Blue Square Premier last season, has made just nine appearances since joining the Bulls in the summer.

The 29-year-old once commanded a fee of £3m when Derby County signed him from Sheffield United in 1999.

Stags manager David Holdsworth told the club website: "I am delighted to bring in a man who knows this division."

Mansfield are currently without injured strikers Kyle Perry and Jake Speight and Holdsworth sees Lee as a short-term solution.

Holdsworth added: "We are short in attack [and] Lee will join the ranks for a short period of time.

"He has played his part at every club he has been and he is itching to do the best he can here."
