Richard Brodie has signed for Ramsbottom United to help ease their striker shortage.
Rammy lost former Nottingham Forest and Hartlepool forward Niall Rodney to a serious injury during last week and the Northern Premier League West club have moved to bring in the experienced Brodie.
The 31-year-old has returned to the north-west after a spell in the midlands with Evo-Stik Southern League Central side Rushall Olympic.
The much-travelled Brodie scored 34 goals in the 2009-10 season for York and was named Conference player of the season as they lost in the play-off final to Oxford United.
The following season he joined Crawley Town for an undisclosed fee and won promotion to the Football League.
He then joined Fleetwood Town on a season-long loan where he won another another Conference title.
Since then Brodie has represented a number of Non-League sides with spells at Hereford, Gateshead, Southport and Aldershot Town.
More recently he has appeared for Boston United, Skelmersdale United, Solihull Moors.
