    The former Accrington Stanley and Portsmouth player made nearly 300 senior appearances, but managed only 11 for Gateshead this season, the last one coming in November.

    Gateshead have signed Slough Town goalkeeper Adam Desbois on a deal until the end of the season and Grimsby winger Zak Gilsenan on loan.

    Gilsenan, 22, recently scored three goals in nine league appearances on loan at National League North side Buxton and will spend the rest of the campaign with the Heed.

    Both players could feature against fellow strugglers Braintree on Wednesday.

    Gateshead are 10 points adrift of safety in the National League.
