New signing Michael Gash could make his debut for Barnet when the Bees travel to promotion rivals Grimsby Town tomorrow.
The 28-year-old has joined the Bees until the end of the season after having his contract with Kidderminster Harriers cancelled by mutual consent last week.
The striker admitted he was delighted to have signed for the Bees and is confident of making an impression.
Speaking to the club's official website, Gash said: "To come to a fantastic club like Barnet who are fighting for promotion and fighting to win the league, I feel like I’ve taken a step up.
"They have a great manager and a great set of lads, so from now until the end of the season trying to win that title is a brilliant place to be.
“As a striker you want to score goals. During the last two seasons I have scored around 40 goals, so knowing that Barnet are the top scorers in the league and creating chances for their strikers - I’ll be looking to work my way into the team and score as well.”
Bee's boss Martin Allen highlighted how the striker has settled in and made a good impression on every one at the club.
Allen said: “I have watched him for a few years and now he has got four months with us. I explained to him that I needed cover for my two centre forwards.
"I told him straight what his position would be and he had to understand that and accept that. He trained with us for two days because I wanted to make sure that he could do the work that our players have to do.
"The players liked him, the staff liked him, and I liked him. He was courageous in those training sessions and he will do what we need him to do for us.”
After a two week break since the defeat at Lincoln, Allen is looking forward to getting the season back underway and believes a bit of time off has been good for his players.
Allen said: “They were upset after the Lincoln game. I honestly do not think they had too much more left in their legs. I think that the players that day gave everything they had but I do not think they had the pace, energy or the athleticism we normally have in our play.
"Even when we do not play well, we normally have those traits within our play. It has done everybody good to not see each other for a couple of days and have a break, have a weekend off and now it is full-on all the way through until the end of the season."
