Blackburn Rovers' Academy keeper Steven Drench has joined Bury on a short-term loan.

Newly-installed Shakers boss Chris Casper has swooped to sign the England Under 20 international, who has impressed whenever he has appeared for Rovers' reserve side.

Casper said of his new recruit: "Steve is a big lad who can command his box, he is also an England Under-20 international and comes highly recommended."
