Crewe Alexandra have signed striker Tom Hitchcock on a loan deal from MK Dons until the end of the season.
Hitchcock spent a short spell on loan with Crewe in 2014 where he netted three goals in six appearances.
Crewe manager Steve Davis told BBC Radio Stoke, “We have looked at alternative strikers and wingers.
“It is extremely difficult. Not many clubs want to let players out. The better ones have already gone. But this is a player we already know about.”
The 23-year-old joined MK Dons in the summer of 2014 following his release by QPR. He has made 11 appearances for MK Dons and has spent time on loan with Stevenage and Fleetwood.
Crewe are currently sitting in 23rd place in League One and are five points adrift of safety. They face Barnsley at home on Saturday.
