WORCESTER City have signed experienced keeper Chris Taylor as an emergency stop-gap for tomorrow's Dr Martens Premier Division clash with Crawley Town at St George's Lane.

Taylor, who kept a clean-sheet for Hinckley against City earlier in the season, replaces the suspended Danny McDonnell.

The ex-Bromsgrove and Evesham keeper gets the nod over McDonnell's number two Shaun Hayes, who has a knee problem that manager John Barton is unwilling to risk but who is still on the bench.

Defender Jon Holloway is expected to make his first appearance for more than two months, while record signing Jai Stanley (knee) will have a late fitness test.
