Experienced full-back pitches up at Darlington

Darlington have completed the signing of Richie Byrne until the end of the season. The 28-year-old Irish left-back, who spent the second half of last season with Inverness after joining them from Oldham last January, will go straight into Steve Staunton's squad for next weekend's home game with Rotherham. Byrne had a loan spell with St Johnstone earlier this term and spent two seasons with Dunfermline, who he helped reach the 2004 Scottish Cup final. He is Darlington manager Staunton's seventh signing since the turn of the year. Meanwhile, young Quakers midfielder Dan Riley has joined Northern League first division side Billingham Town on loan for a month.
