FORMER Ipswich Town and Celtic winger Bobby Petta is set to make his debut for Darlington tomorrow after signing on until the end of the season.

The Dutch player, who was released by the Scottish giants in November, could line up with his fellow countryman Clyde Wijnhard when the Quakers take on Bury at Gigg Lane.

Manager David Hodgson will be hoping the new man can make a quick impression as his side seek to bounce back from last Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Southend United.

The result was a blow to Darlington's promotion ambitions as late goals from Mark Bentley and Freddy Eastwood ended their unbeaten start to 2005 and pushed them just outside the play-off places in eighth.

One bright spot was the impressive return of skipper Craig Liddle after injury.
