Doncaster Rovers have signed Neill Byrne on loan from Bradford City for the rest of the season.

The 32-year-old has only started five league games this campaign for the Bantams, the last of which was on New Year's Day.

But the Irishman was part of the side that won promotion along with Rovers from League Two last season and will now link up with Grant McCann's side, who are 22nd in League One.

"I had a good conversation with the manager which really interested me and I really wanted to get it done," Byrne told Doncaster's website., external

"I want to get games and I want to help the team in any way possible."
