David Brooks: Bournemouth winger joins Southampton on loan

Southampton have signed winger David Brooks from Bournemouth on loan until the end of the season.

The 26-year-old requested a move to play regular first-team football.

The Wales international has made 13 Premier League appearances this season, scored one goal and had two assists in last week's FA Cup fourth-round romp against Swansea City.

"I want to be playing regular minutes and this opportunity was one I couldn't really turn down," said Brooks.

He joins Southampton's Championship promotion push having missed 18 months of football after being diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma, and returned to action last March.
