The Reds have completed the signing of Southampton defender Garry Monk on a one-month loan.

Monk started his career with Torquay United before joining The Saints in 1996 but has failed to establish himself at St Mary's.

The 24-year-old has made just 13 appearances for the Saints and has previously had loan spells with Stockport County, Oxford United and Sheffield Wednesday.

Monk has been given the squad number 14.

Meanwhile, Australian midfielder Jacob Burns has signed up for a further month.
