Accrington Stanley have signed midfielder Scott Brown on a deal until the end of the season after his release by National League club Grimsby Town.

The 30-year-old former Everton trainee worked with Stanley boss John Coleman at Southport and has also spent time at Bristol City, Port Vale and Morecambe.

"I think he's a top player," Coleman told the club website.
