Dagenham & Redbridge swoop for Portsmouth's James Dunne

Portsmouth midfielder James Dunne has joined Dagenham & Redbridge on a one-month loan deal.

The 26-year-old, who started his career with Arsenal, has made just one appearance for Pompey this season, having also spent part of last term on loan in Scotland with St Johnstone.

"I'm absolutely delighted we've managed to get James down from Portsmouth for a month," manager Wayne Burnett told the club's official website.

"He's someone I know very well, with the team playing against him on numerous occasions. He'll bring a competitive edge and energy to the group, so I'm really pleased we've managed to get hold of him."

Dunne could now make his debut for the Daggers against Luton Town on Saturday afternoon.
