Cambridge United have signed Crawley Town striker Matt Harrold on loan until the end of the season.

The 30-year-old has struggled for form at Crawley since joining the club from Bristol Rovers in the summer.

However, Cambridge boss Richard Money is hopeful that the experienced forward can get his career back on track at the Abbey Stadium.

"Matt's a really good player and we're looking forward to working with him," he told the club's official website. "We've brought him in to help us out and we believe that he can be an important part of our squad for the last part of the season."

Harrold could make his Cambridge debut on Tuesday night when they host AFC Wimbledon in League Two.
