League Two's bottom club Accrington have signed Rotherham striker Kayode Odejayi on a three-month loan deal in a bid to end their goal drought.

James Beattie's side have lost their last six matches in all competitions and failed to score in any of them.

The 31-year-old was transfer-listed by the promoted Millers in May.

Nigeria international Odejayi has a wealth of experience from spells with Bristol City, Cheltenham, Barnsley, Scunthorpe and Colchester.

Both manager and player are pleased to have finalised a loan deal, having failed to complete a move before the transfer deadline on 2 September.

"This move could have happened sooner but for whatever reason it didn't," Odejayi told the

"I'm here now, raring to go and looking forward to getting started. I want to come here, get some games and hopefully score some goals, as well as help improve our league position."

Beattie added: "This is something I've been working on for two or three months and we were unfortunate not to get him permanently. He's exactly what we need and hopefully he'll be the missing link to get us going."
