York City manager Terry Dolan announced this afternoon that striker Colin Alcide will play as a makeshift centre-back in Saturday's Division Three clash at Southend United.
Alcide played centre-half for City reserves in their recent 2-1 win over Shrewsbury Town and has also played in the role while at Lincoln City and Emley.
Dolan has been forced to turn to Alcide after injuries and suspensions have deprived him of defenders Darren Edmondson, Mark Sertori, Gary Hobson, Peter Swan, Chris Fairclough and Wayne Hall.
