Goalkeeper and defender join Coleman's League Two outfit

Accrington Stanley have signed Liverpool's Dean Bouzanis and Blackburn's Johnny Flynn on loan until January. Teenage goalkeeper Bouzanis has been allowed to leave the Reds in order to improve his chances of securing first-team football in England. The 19-year-old moved to Anfield in 2007 from New South Wales Institute of Sport, although he was initially loaned to Sydney FC until his 17th birthday. Northern Ireland Under 21 international Flynn has also dropped down to League Two in a bid to build experience. The defender is ineligible for Stanley in the FA Cup after playing in this season's competition during an earlier loan spell at Chester City. Flynn will therefore miss this weekend's second-round match against Barnet and he will only come into contention for John Coleman in Tuesday's trip to Burton Albion.
