He revealed: “We are about to sign Dean Morgan on loan from Woking. It’s a straight swap with Charles.
“They are on the same wages so it isn’t costing us anything.
“It’s a man in the building. He plays anywhere across the front. He is really talented, got goals this season and is an experienced player.
“He’s technically very good and has played at this level.

Morgan has scored nine goals for Woking this season in the Conference Premier and has made 369 appearances in the Football League before being released by Wycombe at the end of last season.
He could feature in the squad for this weekend’s visit to Fleetwood Town if the paperwork is completed in time.
Saunders is hoping to sign another goalkeeper in time for Saturday as back-up for Lewis Price to fill the gap created by Brian Jensen who will be out for 10 weeks with an injured finger.
