Mellor has signed until April 11th and will go straight into their squad to face Runcorn this evening. Mellor is a on a pro contract at Crewe but that deal expires in the summer. He is yet to make a first-team appearance for the club.
He can play centre-half, or at right back and has recently being used as a holding midfield player in the club's Under-18 side. Mellor also enjoyed a recent loan spell at his former club Nantwich Town.
Meanwhile, the club's former Wales Youth International Alex Titchiner has returned from a recent loan stint at Colwyn Bay. Striker Titchiner did well, scoring four goals in five appearances on loan until suffering a recent ankle injury.
