Huddersfield Town's Ben Jackson is Doncaster Rovers' seventh window signing

DONCASTER ROVERS have ended their search for a much-needed new left-back option after bringing in Ben Jackson from Championship outfit Huddersfield Town.

Jackson will remain with Rovers for the rest of the season on loan with his signing being the latest arrival in a busy week of transfer business which has also seen Adam Clayton and Mipo Odubeko join the League One side's relegation fight.

Stockport-born Jackson will renew acquaintances with a familiar face in loan striker Odubeko, who spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Town.

The academy product has had spells earlier in his career on loan at Darlington and hometown club Stockport County, with the player having had two separate loan stints with the Hatters.

Jackson spent the second half of last season with Bolton Wanderers, helping the Trotters win promotion back to the third tier at the first attempt.

Jackson - Rovers' seventh signing so far this month - has signed in time to be included in Gary McSheffrey’s squad for Saturday’s game against Plymouth Argyle.
