Blackpool have signed Millwall defender Kamarl Grant on loan until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old spent last season on loan in League Two with Bromley and made 40 league appearances.

He has played four times for the Lions this season and could make his debut for the Tangerines at Barnsley on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

"He adds a different style. He's very athletic, really aggressive in both boxes, defends space really well and I'm delighted we've persuaded him to be part of our journey," boss Ian Evatt told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"I like that journey of going down the leagues and playing games to learn your trade. It's my job now to improve him and coach him."
