Nationwide Conference club Rushden & Diamonds have signed defender Jason Goodliffe following his release by Stevenage Borough.

Goodliffe was released by Boro on the last day of the transfer window and has now penned terms with Rushden until the end of the season.

The 32-year old started his career with Hayes in 1992 and went on to join Stevenage on a free transfer in 2001, where he played under current Diamonds boss Graham Westley.

He also had a three-month loan spell with York City this season, where he made thirteen appearances.

Goodliffe has been allocated squad number 16.
