DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE striker Wesley Thomas has joined Blue Square Premier side Rushden & Diamonds on loan until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old has struggled to break into Daggers' first team this season, making just five starts, the last coming back on February 6 in the 1-0 home defeat to Northampton Town.

He has made 26 appearances in total this season, netting three times, but hasn't found the net since the 2-2 draw at Macclesfield Town back in October.

Since Phil Walsh has signed, Thomas appears to have fallen down the pecking order, and will join a Diamonds side challenge for promotion this season.

They are currently fourth in the table and visit AFC Wimbledon this weekend.
