Shrewsbury Town have brought in Doncaster Rovers defender Graeme Lee on an initial month's loan.

Lee has not played for Doncaster this season due to a series of injury problems, but recently made three appearances on loan at former club Hartlepool United.

He becomes new Shrewsbury manager Paul Simpson's first signing and the deal could be extended until the end of the season.

"I'm delighted to have got Graeme in on loan as he is the experienced sort of player that I am looking to bring into the club at centre-half and hopefully it will be a successful spell with us," Simpson told the club's official website.

Captain type

"He's played a lot of games and has been involved in promotions and he knows this league.

"Hopefully he can come in and have a good look at what we are doing and we can have a look to see if there is something more long term that we can do.

"He's a captain type of character and when you have a squad which is very very young you need that type of player and hopefully Graeme will bring that to the club."
