Southampton sign David Brooks on loan from Bournemouth

"I'm really happy. With the past couple of years with my situation, just to kind of come here and try and get some game time, I'm really looking forward to it and can't wait to get started," he told the club website.

"That's why I've made the decision to come away from Bournemouth. I think the game time was a little bit limited there at this present time so I was very eager to get to a point where I wanted to be playing regular minutes and this opportunity came up and it was one that I couldn't really turn down."

Director of football Jason Wilcox added: "We were clear coming into this window that we ideally wanted a wide player, and David's name was at the very top of the list, so we're extremely pleased to have added him to the squad.

"He's a very talented and dynamic player who will further increase both our quality and depth.

"It's been a very positive month of business with the additions of Joe and now David, and we feel we've put ourselves in a strong position for the remainder of the season."

"It's been a tough year for me but hopefully here I can hit the ground running and get playing."

Manager Neil Harris added: "I am really delighted to bring James into the Club. We have wanted to do four players during the window, with one being an experienced and versatile full back option, and James certainly ticks that box.

"He has been on our radar for a few weeks now, so we are delighted to bring in his experience and quality - not just on the pitch - where he has been a very good player at this level, but also off the pitch as well.
