News revealed FIRST on SMS

The Hatters can confirm Richard Money has strengthened his squad following the closure of the transfer window with the re-signing of Kenyan international striker Taiwo Atieno until the end of the season.

The Brixton-born 25-year-old originally impressed the Town boss in a behind closed doors friendly last March and was offered a deal until the end of the last campaign before deciding to re-sign after turning down offers from other clubs this summer.

After starting his career as a youngster with Walsall, the 6ft 2in forward enjoyed experience at a host of Football League clubs.

He joined Tamworth in 2006/07 but in his first full season in the Conference his 12 goals were not enough to save the Lambs from relegation.

Taiwo swapped Staffordshire for the sunshine of Puerto Rico in 2007 signing for the Puerto Rico Islanders, helping the club win the Commissioners Cup a year later.

In March 2009, he joined Rochester Rhinos after he had been signed for Charleston Battery during the close season despite not featuring for the Charleston side.

The strong, quick and powerful front man made his debut for Kenya as a substitute in their World Cup qualifier against Mozambique and has gone onto to win three further caps.

On the recapture of the forward Money said: "Tai came to us at theend of last season and impressed us a lot in training and for the reserves.

"It was unfortunate he picked-up an injury in the reserve game at Ipswich which meant he was unable to continue his promising progress with us.

"The opportunity has arisen for us to resign him and we're delighted that we're able to do so.

"He has a lot to offer and we're looking forward to working with him once again.

"He is a tall, more aggressive type of centre forward and one which we feel will compliment the strikers we have at the club very well."
