Moore keen to tie up Offiong deal

Last updated : 05 March 2010 By Deano
The 26 year-old, who now tops Moore's wanted list after several failed bids to bring in a new striker on loan, may make a move South ahead of the weekend.

Moore missed out on Leyton Orient's experienced James Scowcroft last week and talking to the Tiser he admits the troubles of his hunt for a partner for
Adam Le Fondre.

"There are one or two we are looking at," said Moore. "We just missed out on Scowcroft at the last minute because Orient want to keep him.

"But there are a couple of others we're talking to. Offiong got a few goals playing for Hamilton and Carlisle paid £75,000 for him at the start of the season but he can't get in the team.

"He's a six-footer and he's quick, which is what we want. We'll try and sort something out before Bradford and if that doesn't work out we'll turn our attentions elsewhere, but you just wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a striker."
