Oldham Athletic have secured the loan signings of Daniel Lafferty and Cameron Dummigan from Championship side Burnley.
Lafferty has signed on a one-month emergency loan, while Dummigan has signed on a one-month youth loan.
Burnley pair require game time
Lafferty, 26, first joined Burnley in 2012 after playing at Celtic and Derry City. He has made 40 appearances for the Clarets and has earned 12 caps for Northern Ireland - the last of which came in a 1-1 draw with Qatar back in May.
Last season he spent 11 games on loan at Championship club Rotherham United.
Dummigan, 19, has yet to make an appearance for the club and has joined Oldham to gain some much needed experience.
He is currently a Northern Ireland under-21 international and played in the Qualifying campaign for last season's UEFA Under-21 Championship where they met Italy, Serbia, Belgium and Cyprus.
The campaign went badly as they finished bottom of the group.
The pair have become Oldham Athletic's sixth and seventh loan signings. They join Middlesbrough's Jonathan Burn, Leicester City's Lithuanian forward Simonas Stankevicius, Celtic's Eoghan O'Connell, Swansea City's Jay Fulton and Sheffield United's Michael Higdon.
Lafferty has been given the number 35 shirt, while Dummigan has been handed the number 36 shirt.
Both are part of the squad that is travelling to Priestfield tomorrow for their clash with third-place Gillingham.
Defensive struggles for Oldham
Oldham will be hoping the pair can help tighten up their backline, the Latics are 18th in the league after winning just one game this season. Last time out they were held to a 1-1 draw at Port Vale after Watford loanee Uche Ikpeazu cancelled out Higdon's opener in the 70th minute.
Interim manager David Dunn is still searching for his first victory as the Oldham boss after three consecutive 1-1 draws with Doncaster Rovers, Wigan Athletic and Port Vale.
