The veteran player, who was playing in the Championship last season, will be named if he passes a medical and then signs a contract.
Iron boss Brian Laws will return from his family holiday to finalise the deal.
Speculation on the Iron-Bru.net messageboard has thrown up several possible names, though Laws has ruled out Chris Greenacre and Jamie Cureton.
The agent of Michael Bridges has also confirmed that his player has not held any talks with the club.
Tony Thorpe, Tommy Johnson and Ashley Ward all appear to fit the description given by Laws.
