"I'm very happy. I'm looking forward to getting started and playing football again and enjoying it.

"After speaking to the manager about how he wants to play and what his plan is for me, it was really good and it was something I was looking forward to.

"It's obviously going to be a little bit different to what the fans are used to seeing but it's going to be exciting because it's a forward-thinking, aggressive style of play which I'm ready to get playing.

"I'm an out and out attacker. I love attacking. I love beating players, getting on the ball and running with it, and getting fans off their seat which I think is something going out of the game."

Manager Paul Heckingbottom said: "We're really pleased to get Josh's loan over the line because he's a different type of player who adds something new to the squad.

"He's experienced at this level and he was really keen to come and work with us, which is a really good sign.

"He'll obviously not be available for Saturday's game but we're looking forward to getting to work with him throughout the international break."
