HEAD coach Billy Dodds says Inverness Caledonian Thistle will get a plan together which will allow them to add further to his squad in the January transfer window.
However, he says it might only be loan deals he looks at, as he analyses the squad for the second half of the campaign.
Jay Henderson, who arrived on loan from St Mirren, was the only new addition at the club as the Inverness Courier went to print yesterday.
Dodds says he will speak to the board to discuss ways that they can add further to the squad.
“We need to get our heads together and get a plan in place to allow me to add further to the squad,” he said.
“I won’t be spending a lot of money.
“It might be another loan and that’s where we’re at. We’re wheeling and dealing.
“I’m hopeful but they have to be better than what we’ve got. We can’t just bring in players to fill in numbers or make the bench.
“Even if it is just another one, they have to be better and that will help us.
“We need to do our due diligence to get the right player or players in. It’s going to be tough, but we’re still looking.”
Dodds hailed the impact of Henderson on the wing against Cove Rangers in the 6-1 win on Monday.
He was keen to get the 20-year-old on loan last season, hailing him as an exciting prospect.
“Jay was excellent against Cove Rangers on Monday and I was frustrated I missed out on him last season.
“Jim Goodwin, who was St Mirren manager at the time, said we could have him because he needed experience.
“Then there was the Covid outburst at St Mirren ahead of the Celtic game and he ended up playing. He did unbelievably well and I knew he had that in him.
“Then, against Dundee United, he scored an unbelievable goal and I felt there was no chance of getting him. The inevitable phone call came from Jim Goodwin when he said he’d have to keep Jay.
“That was down to Jay, who was excellent. He showed what he was capable of and I have kept an eye on him ever since.
“St Mirren are now going as a 3-5-2 under Stephen Robinson, who has been brilliant and really helpful and we’ve managed to get Jay on loan.
“I was really surprised and happy when I got him because I knew what he could do and he showed that on Monday against Cove.”
