BLACKBURN Rovers have confirmed the signing of Leicester City attacker Tom Lawrence, 21, on loan until January 3.

The Wales U21s international, who joined Leicester City for £1m from Manchester United last summer, and has had previous loan spells in the Championship with Rotherham United and Yeovil Town, told the Rovers official website: "It's a good club and I can't wait to get going now.

"I knew there was interest but it has all happened so quickly, I'm just happy that is all done.

"I know a few of the lads here already so I'm sure I'll get a bit of stick. I was with Shane Duffy at Yeovil, and Adam Henley from my time with Wales so it is good."

Lawrence becomes Rovers' seventh signing of the summer after Sacha Petshi, Fode Koita, Danny Guthrie, Nathan Delfouneso, Modou Barrow and Hope Akpan.
