Tamworth have signed defender Hayden Carson on a month's loan from Salford City. The 20-year-old arrives as the club fights to climb from 22nd place in the National League, having taken just eight points from their opening ten games.

Carson came through the academy at Wolverhampton Wanderers before joining Salford. He featured in Salford's first two competitive matches this season and spent time on loan at Chester last term. His move to The Lambs was confirmed on Tuesday.

The signing comes at a critical moment. Tamworth's recent form shows one win in their last five outings, a run that includes a heavy 5-1 defeat to Aldershot Town last weekend. They face a tough test next, hosting 11th-placed Sutton United on Wednesday night.

With 28 goals conceded already this campaign, defensive reinforcements are a clear priority. Carson's arrival provides fresh options at the back as manager Andy Peaks looks to solidify his side. Carson is expected to be available for selection immediately as Tamworth seek to start moving up the standings.
