Wanderers land top striker target
WANDERERS have clinched the signing of Cardiff City striker Joe Mason on loan until January.
The 23-year-old striker spent two spells on loan with the club last season, scoring six goals in 16 appearances.
But his arrival at the Macron Stadium has been stalled after Cardiff insisted he extended his contract – due to run out in 2016 – before he went out again.
Several other Championship clubs are thought to have enquired about Mason’s availability but Wanderers are now hoping to have him registered in time to face Bury in the Carling Cup first round on Tuesday night.

Cardiff City striker Joe Mason has left the club for Bolton on loan until January.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently stressed Mason was part of the club's long-term future but that he would be willing to let him go out on loan again having brought in a host of other strikers.
Dougie Freedman's Bolton - where he previously spent two spells, scoring six goals - have won the race for Mason, where he will spen the first half of the season at least.
Solskjaer said the loan deal was dependent on a new contract with Cardiff being negotiated but news of that deal has yet to emerge.
He had said last month: "Joe has a big future with Cardiff City and we are having talks on a new contract.
“When they are concluded Joe is likely to go out on loan. I want him playing first team football and continuing his development.”
Cardiff paid £250,000 for Mason when they signed him from Plymouth Argyle three years ago and he has scored 15 goals in 35 league starts plus 32 appearance as a substitute.
Cardiff have signed strikers Adam Le Fondre, Javi Guerra and Federico Macheda this summer, as well as welcoming back Nicky Maynard from his loan at Wigan and retaining Kenwyne Jones.
