Legzdins is to spend three months at the Shay following a similar spell in the 2005/06 season when he started 11 games for Chris Wilder's side.

The 20-year-old will challenge Craig Mawson for a starting place and will be in Halifax's squad to face Burton Albion this evening (Tuesday).

Legzdins is yet to make a senior appearance for Birmingham but has been a reserve team regular.

He has also had loan stints with Oldham and Macclesfield.
