The 23-year-old Centre-half, who can also play right back and in midfield, joins for an initial month subject to paperwork being accepted by the Conference and FA.

Parry is likely to go straight into the squad for tonight's home game with Forest Green Rovers as cover for captain Steve Akrigg, who will be out for up to six weeks with a torn hamstring.

Parry, who has played for Telford manager Liam Watson before during a two-year spell at Southport from 2011-13, will take squad No 24.

Watson said: "He is a good footballer who can play in a variety of different positions.

"Last year, he played for England C and he is someone I know. He gives me a different option, so I am pleased we have got him."
