Crewe have been given International clearance to play French defender Patrick Noubissie after both the FA and the French FA granted clearance.
The 23-year old full back signed on a short-term deal last week with the Railwaymen after impressing during a trial spell at the club. Noubissie who has not been with a club since he left French outfit Sedan during the summer. Although he did have a similar trial with Barnet before the season started, if he impresses he could be a surprise inclusion for the visit to Nottingham Forest this Saturday this would prove a big headache for Dario Gradi as players are coming back from injury thick and fast.
