Richie Bennett joins Southport on three-month loan

Iron forward Richie Bennett has joined fellow Vanarama National League League North side Southport on a three-month loan.

The 32-year-old joins the Sandgrounders on an initial three-month loan spell, with the nature of the loan holding a 28-day recall option in the Iron's favour.

Bennett joined the club in March last season and went on to make eight starts, scoring one goal in the 2-0 home win over Altrincham last season and returned to the club at the start of September, making three appearances.

He did make a further appearance, and scored, against Buxton, but the game was expunged following its abandonement.

We wish Richie all the best for his spell away from Glanford Park.
