Hornchurch have signed Cambridge United striker Ryan Loft on a three-month loan deal.
The 29-year-old has not made an appearance for the U's this season and spent the majority of the last campaign on loan at Crawley Town, for whom he scored four goals in all competitions.
Loft started his career with Tottenham but failed to make a first-team appearance and he helped another of his former clubs, Bristol Rovers, win promotion from League Two in 2022.
Hornchurch are currently 12th in the table in their first season in the National League and next play Eastleigh at home on Saturday, 10 October (15:00 BST).

Hornchurch have signed midfielder Alfie Massey on loan from Millwall until 3 January.
The 20-year-old has previously had loan spells with Wealdstone and Southend United and came through Millwall's academy before signing his first professional contract with the Championship club.
Massey made his Lions debut in a 1-0 Carabao Cup win at Portsmouth in August 2024.
Hornchurch manager Daryl McMahon said Massey would add "quality in midfield with a good passing range", while also describing him as a "tenacious player".
Hornchurch co-owner and chief executive Mark Hammond has stepped down from his roles at the National League club for personal reasons.
"This has not been an easy decision," he told Hornchurch's website, external.
"However, at this point in my life, I need to prioritise my family and personal circumstances, and I believe stepping away from my position is the right decision for both myself and those closest to me.
"Although my time at Hornchurch has been shorter than I originally anticipated, I am proud to have played a part in an important period for the club as it prepares for the opportunities ahead."
The Urchins have won both of their opening matches in the National League since being promoted from National League South last season.
