FORMER Saint Jo Tessem has come to the rescue to help Eastleigh after their injury problems worsened this week.

The Norwegian striker has agreed a pay-as-you play deal at The Silverlake, which will run until the end of the season if it suits both the player and the club.

Tessem, 37, had been training with the Blue Square South club for some time to keep himself fit.

But Baird was forced to ask him if he would be willing to lend his talent and know-how to the seventh-placed Spitfires’ play-off bid after three more players joined the club’s injured list this week.
