Fulham defender Josh Passley joins Portsmouth on loan

League Two outfit Portsmouth have signed Fulham defender Josh Passley on a one-month youth loan.

The 20-year-old has played two games for the Cottagers and spent time on loan at Shrewsbury Town earlier in the season.

Pompey manager Andy Awford told BBC Sport: "[Passley] is an athletic and very lively player who will improve our squad.

"He's already played at this level before and we're grateful to Fulham, and Kit Symons in particular, for letting us borrow him.

"The coaching staff and I have been to watch Josh on a few occasions this season and we liked what we saw."

Passley made his Fulham debut in the FA Cup fourth-round draw against Sheffield United.
