Six foot striker Jordan Robertson has joined the Shakers on loan until 03 January and goes straight into the squad for Saturday's trip to the Darlington Arena.

Jordan has had a number of loan spells over the past couple of campaigns that have boosted his profile. He has spent time with Torquay United, Northampton Town, Oldham Athletic, Dundee United, Southampton and Ferencvaros.

For the latter he was part of the team that helped the Budapest-based club back into the top flight of Hungarian football. A tall and powerful striker, he has been a goalscorer throughout his teenage years at Bramall Lane and is another of the highly-thought of Blades' youngsters.

In the 2005-2006 season, he was the youth team's leading marksman and, as an 18-year-old, netted a hat-trick for United's reserves at Nottingham Forest.Jordan is a former team mate of Ryan Cresswell from his days at Bramall Lane.

Shakers fans will remember Jordan Robertson from the pre-season game with the Blades at Gigg Lane, two goals from the young striker in the final ten minutes of the game saw the game finish 3-0 to Sheffield United.

Jordan was offered squad number 22 once the forms had been completed, but has turned down the number and will instead wear shirt number 13 at his own request.

Reaction from Alan Knill and Jordan himself will be live on Shakers Player on Saturday evening following the game at Darlington
