He joined from Burnley at the beginning of January and has since notched three goals in six outings to help the Quakers into the League Two play-off places.

Unfortunately it wasn't all good news for the Enniskillen born frontman.

 

He picked up an injury playing against Boston United at the weekend, forcing him to withdraw from the U21 trip to Israel.

 

Injury trouble is also worrying David Healy.

 

Northern Ireland's record scorer is set to have a scan on his troublesome foot after picking up a knock during training.

 

He misses Saturday's trip to Derby through suspension so it is thought he will receive treatment this week.

 

At the weekend it was largely slim pickings for our cross-channel based players.

 

There were exceptions, though, and none more high profile than Ivan Sproule who marked his return to Ibrox with a goal for Hibernian in their 3-0 Scottish Cup defeat of Rangers.

 

It was a hat-trick on his last visit there that brought him to the attention of Lawrie Sanchez so finding the net again will do his chances of selection for the Estonia friendly no harm whatsoever.

 

Stuart Elliott was amongst the goals once again with a 25-yard drive after 14 minutes in Hull City's 3-2 defeat of Luton Town.

 

He also set up team-mate Daryl Duffy for the Tigers second.

 

Elsewhere, Michael Ingham followed up his midweek heroics for Wrexham by keeping a clean sheet in the defeat of League Two leaders Wycombe Wanderers while, in the Premiership, Steve Davis provided the telling pass to set up Luke Moore's hat-trick in the 4-0 thrashing of Middlesbrough.
