Crystal Palace midfielder Carl Fletcher has moved to Plymouth Argyle on a month's loan.
Fletcher has been frozen out by Eagles manager Neil Warnock and will be eager to play regular first team football.
The Wales international has made just 11 appearances this season, mainly off the substitutues' bench.
He went on a six-week loan stint at Nottingham Forest in October where he featured five times.
Argyle boss Paul Sturrock said: "I have been after Carl for a while and he has come in for a month to strengthen and bolster the midfield area.
"It has been very difficult in that position this year because everybody wants to keep their experienced players.
"We needed another captain in there and he has captained Wales and many other teams in the past, so there are leadership qualities in him.
"When we are going through the spell we are going through, we need that kind of generalship from experienced players.
"He's very thoughtful when the other team has got the ball. He talks and organises your midfield and he sees a pass when he gets on the ball."
Meanwhile, Palace have agreed to extend Claude Davis' loan from Derby until the end of the season.
