WANDERERS have swooped on crisis club Weymouth to sign Blue Square Premier League hotshot Stuart Beavon on a two-and-a half year deal.

They have beaten off a cluster of clubs to land the 24-year-old who has plundered 14 goals for the Terras this season.

Beavon would have been a free agent on Monday because Weymouth's players have not been paid for seven weeks - but Wanderers beat the gun by paying the Dorset club a loan fee to secure his services first.
