Brighton & Hove Albion have signed goalkeeper Scott Flinders on a month's loan from Crystal Palace.

Seagulls boss Dean Wilkins moved quickly to land the England Under-20 international after regular number one Michel Kuipers picked up a groin injury in Saturday's 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest.

The 20-year-old former Barnsley keeper could make his Albion debut in Tuesday's trip to Gillingham.

"Scott was very keen to come and help us out and play some games for us, and the reports we have had about him are encouraging," Wilkins told the club's official website.

"Ironically, he had a successful spell on loan with Gillingham earlier this season so I'm sure he'll get a good reception from both sets of supporters if he plays."
