Fulham youngster Liam Donnelly loaned to Crawley Town

Fulham defender Liam Donnelly has joined Crawley Town on a one-month loan deal.

The Northern Ireland international, 19, has yet to make his competitive debut for the Cottagers.

Donnelly scored against Crawley in a pre-season friendly earlier this summer.

"He's a tenacious defender but also good on the ball and, as we discovered when we played Fulham a few weeks ago, he can score the odd goal as well," Town boss Mark Yates told the club's official website. "We're delighted to have him with us and I'd like to thank Kit Symons and everyone at Fulham for making it possible."

Crawley start the new League Two campaign with a trip to Oxford United on August 8.
