Blue Square North strugglers Hyde United have snapped up former Stockport and Bury striker Glynn Hurst after he left league rivals Gainsborough Trinity at the end of last month.
Hurst, 33, had only spent three months at the Northolme when he told Trinity boss Brian Little that he was struggling with the commute from his Liverpool home.
Hurst started his career as a Tottenham Hotspur apprentice, but could not break into the first-team at White Hart Lane and joined Barnsley in 1994 where he was sent out on loan to a number of clubs, including Swansea City, Scarborough, and Mansfield Town.
In 1997 he dropped out of the professional game and had a fruitful spell at Emley in the UniBond League.
Since then he has played for Ayr United, Stockport County, Chesterfield, Notts County,
Shrewsbury and Bury, who he joined following a successful spell on loan.
