McCabe joins Pompey on loan

Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Rhys McCabe has joined League Two side Portsmouth on loan until the end of the season.

McCabe, 21, has appeared for just 83 minutes in the league this season and will now hope for more first-team football on the South coast with Pompey.

Portsmouth manager and former Wednesday striker Richie Barker said: "We were eager to bring Rhys in when we knew he was available because he's a quality player who will help keep possession in the centre of the park.

"He hasn't been in the Sheffield Wednesday side recently and is hungry to play. He jumped at the chance to come here, which is a good sign."

Pompey have also extended the loan of Brentford's Toumani Diagouraga until the end of the campaign.
