"I've spoken to Harry Redknapp and it looks like the deal will go through in the next 24 hours," Jewell has said.
"The player is keen to come here which is good news and everything is in place to bring him here on loan with a view to a permanent transfer."
"He's a player I've admired for a long time and I've tried to sign him several times before but it's never quite worked out.
"Several clubs are interested in him, but he wants to come back up north and feels we are perfect for him on and off the pitch."
