League Two side Notts County have signed Scunthorpe United striker Jonathan Forte on a month's loan.

The 22-year-old Barbados international is expected to make his debut against Barnet on Saturday.

The ex-Sheffield United man told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I think it is a short-term deal at the moment as there aren't many strikers at Scunthorpe.

"I want to get a couple of goals here and try and get Notts County back up where they're supposed to be."

Manager Ian McParland told the club website: "Jonathan is a terrific addition to our squad.

"We are delighted he has agreed to join us. He is young, quick and he has a variety of qualities to bring to our front line."

The former England youth international began his career with the Blades and made 30 appearances for them.
