Halifax Town have signed midfielder Tommy McDermott on a deal until the end of the season.
McDermott, 21, was a free agent after being released by Burnley in the summer.
He had spent last season on loan in League Two with Shrewsbury Town, for whom he played in 41 games and scored three times, while he had made two appearances in cup competitions for the Clarets in the previous campaign.
Halifax have signed Derby County midfielder Cruz Allen on a one-month loan deal and also added former Buxton forward Deniche Hill to their squad.
Allen, 19, played against the Shaymen for Derby's under-21s in the National League Cup earlier this month.
Hill, 22, played under Halifax boss John McGrath last season in National League North.
Both players have been named on the bench for the game against Altrincham on Friday.
The club have not disclosed the length of deal that Hill has signed.
