Speaking to the club's official website, Hughes said: "We felt it was important to make sure we are well covered in that area.

"We obviously have good young 'keepers but Lee is experienced, he is of a good age and we felt it would be sensible for us to bring him in if we possibly could.

"We have been able to do that, and it ensures we are covered for any eventuality now."
