Former St Mirren striker Jon Obika joins Motherwell on loan
The 32-year old comes in from Morecambe for the rest of the season
Motherwell have signed striker Jonathan Obika on loan from Morecambe for the rest of the season, subject to international clearance.
The 32-year-old, who has had a previous spell in the Premiership with St Mirren, has made six Sky Bet League One appearances this season for the Shrimps.
Motherwell boss Steven Hammell told the club's website: "Jonathan gives us a big, physical presence in the final third.
"When we found out he was available, we wanted to try hard to get him here and I'm pleased that has been achieved. With Mikael (Mandron) picking up his injury, we needed a new focal point up top."
Obika progressed through Tottenham's academy and played for Swindon and Oxford as well as loan spells with Yeovil, Millwall, Crystal Palace, Peterborough, Charlton and Brighton.
He became the Steelmen's third deadline day capture with former Celtic forward Jack Aitchison joining on a deal until the end of the season.
The 22-year old was released from Barnsley after spending time on loan at Stevenage and Forest Green Rovers.
Brighton left-back James Furlong also arrived on loan until the end of the season.
Hammell had been keen to strengthen in that area with Matt Penney recalled by Ipswich earlier in January.
Forward Connor Shields made the switch to St Mirren on loan while Sondre Solholm sealed a permanent move to Odds BK in Norway.
