Bunn has made one appearance for Blackburn Rovers

Sheffield United have signed Blackburn goalkeeper Mark Bunn on a month's loan, BBC Radio Sheffield reports.

Bunn, 24, will come into the club as cover for Paddy Kenny who is still waiting to find out the extent of his punishment after failing a drugs test.

"I was sitting on the bench at Blackburn last season so I have come here to play games," Bunn told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I'm here for a month and if I do well hopefully I can stay a bit longer."

Bunn began his career at Tottenham Hotspur, before moving to Northampton and then Rovers.

He has also previously had a loan spell at Leicester City.

Sheffield United chairman Kevin McCabe says the Football Association have not been clear as to when they will make a ruling on Kenny.

"We await the outcome of the FA commission's decision," Blades chairman Kevin McCabe told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"They'll not be rushed into making a decision. If we push them, if anything it will make it worse."
