Hide AdTaylor hopes the arrival of the 33-year-old will help revive his side who have won only one of their first six league games.
Taylor was also hoping to sign a striker ahead of today's game with Gillingham but talks with one player from a League One club stalled. Nigerian-born striker Chib Chilaka was offered a short-term deal after impressing on trial and may be on the bench.
