Boro sign Eric Cantona's cousin
Eastbourne Borough have taken French left-back Sacha Opinel on a one month loan from Farnborough Town.
32-year-old Opinel, a cousin of Eric Cantona, began his career with Cannes and had spells with Lille and Ajaccio before moving to Raith Rovers where he made 22 appearances.
Stints at Plymouth Argyle and Leyton Orient followed before he joined Farnborough in 2003.
Crawley Town was his next destination in 2005 before a spell
at Ebbsfleet United where he picked up an FA Trophy winners medal in 2008.
Opinel is in his second spell for Farnborough and made 23 appearances and scored one goal this season. At Cherrywood Road he made 89 appearances and scored three goals.
Borough manager Garry Wilson moved quickly to bring in defensive cover after left back Neil Jenkins was sent off against Wrexham on Saturday and will serve a four match ban for his second red card of the season.
Opinel goes straight into the squad for the Blue Square Premier League
away trip to Rushden and Diamonds tomorrow (Tuesday) night.
