Having today put pen-to-paper on a one-year deal with the Imps, Adrian Patulea will become a Lincoln City player once international clearance has been granted.

Patulea will join the Club from Petrolul Ploiesti for an undisclosed fee once the international clearance has been confirmed, and if that clearance comes before 2.00pm on Saturday then he will be eligible for the Coca-Cola League 2 game against Grimsby Town at Sincil Bank Stadium.

The Romanian striker has been handed the number 23 shirt by manager Peter Jackson.
