Calvin Andrew

Striker Calvin Andrew has joined Brighton & Hove Albion on loan until the end of the season.

Andrew has failed to break into the Palace line-up after signing from Luton Town for £80,000 last summer.

Shefki Kuqi, James Scowcroft and Alan Lee have been above the Luton born forward in the pecking order and the switch will give Andrew first team match-time.

Eagles boss Neil Warnock said: "Calvin will join Brighton until the end of the season. We just want him to go out and get some games – but he will be back here next season fighting for a first-team place."

Yeovil were also interested in taking Andrew on loan but the 22-year-old will instead help move struggling Brighton out of the League One relegation places.
