Reds sign Pogba until end of the season

The 24-year-old, 6ft 2in forward is well known to Interim Manager Dean Saunders, having played under him at Wrexham when he came to England in 2010 after starting his career in the youth system at Celta Vigo before playing in French lower-league football for Quimper.

Matthias scored 16 goals in 71 games for Wrexham over two seasons before signing for Crewe at the start of the 2012-13 campaign.

He netted 21 goals in 63 appearances for Crewe, scoring twice on his debut for the club against Hartlepool in a League Cup tie and also on his League bow against Notts County.

He has played against the Reds three times, including the meeting at the Checkatrade.com Stadium last April which the Alex won 2-1.
