Bath City boss Adie Britton has finally boosted his threadbare strikeforce with the signing of Kaid Mohamed on a non-contract basis.

Welshman Mohamed, 25, made 11 appearances for Coca-Cola League 1 outfit Swindon Town in 2007-08 but has been without a club since being released by Forest Green Rovers in the close season.

He has signed for City for a month on a non-contract basis and is set to be named on the bench for tomorrow night's Blue Square South clash with Maidenhead United at Twerton Park (7.45pm).

Mohamed marked his last appearance at the ground by scoring the goal that knocked TeamBath out of last season's FA Cup. The Cardiff-based frontman also had a loan spell with Newport last term and lists Carmarthen, Cwmbran and Llanelli among his former clubs.

Britton said: "He's sharp, good on the ball and gets down the side of people. He offers us something different to Darren (Edwards) and Stuart (Douglas).

"He's definitely got goals in him and we tried to sign him at Merthyr before he went to Swindon. It didn't really work out for him there but then there's a big difference between non-league and league football."

Meanwhile, Britton confirmed that under-fire keeper Will Puddy will start against Maidenhead despite producing a horror show on his debut at Chelmsford City on Saturday.

Puddy was at fault for all four of the hosts' goals in a 4-3 defeat but Britton has plenty of faith in the youngster.

He said: "I've seen a lot of him and he's not made a lot of mistakes in those games.

"He was at Tamworth last year as well and they didn't do so badly at all.

"I don't want to dwell on it because for young players, and keepers in particular, confidence is everything.

"He's a good keeper and brings a lot to the table with his throwing and his kicking, which is superb."

Lewis Hogg completes his suspension tomorrow and fellow midfielder Mark Badman should be fit to start despite suffering a neck injury at Chelmsford.
