"After what's been a crazy 24 hours, it feels great to be here," he told the club website.

"Having had a discussion with the gaffer here, he highlighted what his ambitions were for the second half of the season and what the Club is pushing for. That was a great chat, and I explained how I felt I could help the side for the second half of the season.

"I'm happy to get this deal done and looking forward to the second half of the season."

Manager Neil Critchley added: "Midfield is somewhere we feel needed reinforcing, and George will bring us a different option in that area of the pitch.

"He brings invaluable experience, technical quality and joins us on the back of a number of games in the Championship this season with Sheffield Wednesday.

"We look forward to working with him in the forthcoming months ahead."
