Gateshead have signed South Shields’ Dillon Morse and Blair Adams on loan.
The Mariners pair make the move to Shields’ Tyneside neighbours on 28-day deals.
With South Shields’ season currently on hold in the Northern Premier Division, the temporary switch allows both players the chance of game time.
On adding the defenders to the Heed ranks, assistant manager Ian Watson said: “It’s a bit of a no-brainer when you get the chance to bring two quality players into the club, because we want to improve the standards all the time, and they’re certainly going to do that.”
