Matt Harrold joins Cambridge United from Crawley on loan

Matt Harrold has only started four league games for Crawley

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

The 30-year-old joined the Red Devils in the summer from Bristol Rovers, but has only scored once in 22 appearances.

His previous clubs also include Brentford, Yeovil, Southend United, Wycombe and Shrewsbury Town.

"Matt's a really good player and we're looking forward to working with him," Cambridge boss Richard Money told the club 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 will be available to make his Cambridge debut in Tuesday evening's game against AFC Wimbledon.
