Scunthorpe United have signed forward James Norwood and midfielder Dan Batty on short-term deals to strengthen their National League squad. The move comes with the club positioned in the lower part of the table.
James Norwood's career background
Norwood brings a wealth of experience, having scored many career goals. He has played for clubs including Ipswich Town, Barnsley, Tranmere Rovers and Exeter City. Last season he played for Fleetwood Town in League Two. He also played a key part in Oldham Athletic's promotion to the English Football League, scoring one of their goals in the Wembley final win over Southend United.
Dan Batty's playing history
Batty joins after a spell with York City where he made many appearances. He was part of the squad that won the National League title, but was released following their promotion to the EFL.
The signings aim to provide a boost as Scunthorpe look to climb the standings, with their recent form showing several wins from their last matches. The club's next fixture is an away trip to face Barrow. The Iron will be looking to improve their goal minutes, having scored many of their league goals this season in the middle part of matches.
