FC Halifax Town have signed defender Lucas Houghton on a month-long loan deal from Championship side Blackburn Rovers.

The 19-year-old right-back made his debut for Rovers' senior team in their 2-1 defeat by Sheffield United in the Carabao Cup in August.

He joins in time to be available for selection for the Shaymen's home fixture against Yeovil Town on Saturday [12:30 GMT].
