Scott Flinders

Scott Flinders has signed for Brighton on a month’s loan.

The rookie keeper has struggled to hold down a place in Peter Taylor’s side since a move from Barnsley in the summer.

Flinders, 20, has made 11 appearances - conceding 16 goals - with Taylor rotating the no.1 shirt between him, Gabor Kiraly and Julian Speroni.

The England U20 international went on loan at Gillingham between September and October last year.

Seagulls boss Dean Wilkins said: “Andy has spoken very highly of him and so have coaches with the England set-up.

“I've spoken to Scott himself and he sounds a really determined type of guy. It’s great that he is prepared to come and help us out at such short notice.”
