Talbot joins Iron on loan

Last updated : 11 January 2007 By Andy Parsons

The lightning-quick striker has had the last year-and-a-half ravaged by back and knee injuries and will welcome the chance to play some football.

Wednesday's Marcus Tudgay, Steve MacLean and Deon Burton are all playing well and Barnsley-born Talbot has found it difficult to make an impression.

But he will only be providing cover for the prolific Iron duo of Billy Sharp and Andy Keogh in attack as he bids to be fully fit to help Wednesday in the latter part of the season.

Meanwhile, Richard Wood made his long-awaited return yesterday after a year out with injury in the 1-1 draw with Stoke reserves.

John Hills also stared and both played over an hour.
