Braintree Town have signed Guyana international forward Callum Harriott and brought in defender Ryan Battrum on loan from West Ham United.

Harriott, 32, began his career at Charlton Athletic and his former clubs also include Colchester United, Reading and Gillingham.

He joins the Iron after a short spell with National League South club Maidenhead United earlier this season.

Battrum, 20, has yet to make a senior appearance for The Hammers, but played for their Under-21 side in Tuesday's National League Cup final, when they lost 7-6 on penalties after a 2-2 draw with Boreham Wood.
