DONCASTER ROVERS have secured their second signing of a busy Tuesday after bringing in Blackburn Rovers' right-back James Brown on loan for the rest of the campaign.

Brown played 22 times in a loan spell in the first half of 2022-23 at Stockport County, only to be recently recalled - in preparation for another temporary stint away from the club.

Brown has now linked up with Doncaster, who saw first-choice right-back Kyle Knoyle move to Stockport on a permanent basis last Friday.

Brown signed for Blackburn last January from Irish side Drogheda on a short-term deal.

The Irishman, who started his career at Shelbourne, later signed an extended deal with Rovers and made his debut on the final day of last season.

The 24-year-old was a regular in pre-season, but the signing of Callum Brittain from Barnsley saw him drop down the pecking order before being loaned out to Stockport.

Brown's arrival follows on from the addition of Leicester City loanee Ben Nelson.
