Hartlepool United have signed former Wales Under-17 international defender Rollin Menayese on loan from fellow League Two side Walsall for the season.
The 24-year-old, who was born in DR Congo but brought up in Wales and was on Cardiff's books as a junior, has three goals in 132 senior games.
Menayese also spent time at Bristol Rovers, Swindon, Aldershot and Mansfield before joining Walsall.
"I love to defend and I want to give my all for this team," Menayese said.
"I spoke to the manager [ex-Hearts midfielder Paul Hartley] last week and he spoke to me about the ambitions of the football club and the way he wants to play. After speaking to him, it was a easy decision."
Boss Hartley added: "He is a still a young lad but he has plenty of experience in this league. He loves to defend but has great athleticism."

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
