Notts County have signed Watford striker Chris Iwelumo on loan until 1 January.

The 34-year-old has made eight appearances for the Hornets this season, scoring once for Gianfranco Zola's side.

He could make his debut in Saturday's home match with Swindon.

The Magpies are the 14th club of the Scotland international's career, including spells in Denmark and Germany.

Meanwhile, the Magpies have confirmed Lee Hughes will be staying with them after his move to Port Vale was not completed before Thursday's deadline.

I'm personally optimistic, he's someone who should do well at our level and we have to give him a chance. It's also a short loan, so I'm not sure if this indicates that he'll be a second part player who will be backup mostly but if he does well I'm sure he could force his way into the site.

I was hoping to see a Defender come in, someone who could play on both left and right back.

you have signed league one's goal machine so he will fire you into the championship LOL

Trust me i aint impressed thats not a replacement for lee hughes its a insult

Give him a chance .It's always difficult to replace a popular regular scorer and age isn't exactly on his side but he could be a good stopgap signing.

I bloody well doubt it think hes got 4 goals in last 90
