The experienced striker caught the eye after playing a handful of games in pre-season scoring three goals along the way.

Both parties were always interested in doing a deal, but an injury sustained to the player halted progress.

Colley told the club`s website: “It feels great, I’m happy to have signed and I’m very excited for the season ahead.”

Colley has also featured for Harrogate Railway, Stockport County, Bradford Park Avenue, Stalybridge Celtic, Boston United and Farsley Celtic and is looking to use his experience to help the team.

“It was unfortunate I picked up a knee injury a week before the start of the season, but I’m back fit now and can’t wait to get going.”

Assistant-manager Simon Collins expressed how pleased he was to get the deal done in time for the weekend: “It’s good to finally have Lamin at our disposal.

“He gives us something different in our forward line; he’s quick, powerful and has a real eye for goal so hopefully he can do well for us.”

Colley goes straight into the squad for today’s Emirates FA Cup tie at Bamber Bridge.
