Birmingham City have made their first signing of the January transfer window by bringing in defender Kevin Long on a short-term deal from another Championship side, leaders Burnley.
Long, 32, who had six months left on his deal at Turf Moor, has opted to join Blues for the rest of the season.
He has not featured under new Burnley boss Vincent Kompany following the Clarets' relegation in May.
But he now joins an injury-hit side who have lost their last three games.
Blues are without Marc Roberts, Harlee Dean, on-loan Dion Sanderson and youngsters Tate Campbell and Nico Gordon for Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at League One strugglers Forest Green.
