The towering defender arrived from the French sixth tier on a free transfer in the summer, but is yet to make an appearance for the second string to date.

But the club have confirmed the player is likely to feature in the Premier League 2 against Swansea City this evening (kick-off 7pm).

Admission for season ticket holders is free, £3 for adults and £1 concessions.
