Port Vale midfielder Steve Jennings has joined Tranmere Rovers for a third spell on loan.
The 29-year-old's temporary deal at Prenton Park is due to expire in January.
Jennings started his career with Tranmere before spending part of last season with the League Two club.
"Steve is a hard-working midfielder with a superb work ethic and desire to win," manager Micky Adams is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
Rovers continue their league campaign on Saturday at home to Stevenage.
