Bournemouth have signed Reading's Aaron Brown in a bid to shore up their defence.

The Cherries are currently flirting with the League One dropzone after a dire display at crisis club Rotherham on Tuesday and their woes were increased further when it emerged that Shaun Cooper was injured during the 2-0 defeat.

Cherries boss Sean O'Driscoll has moved quickly in securing cover for Cooper, and Brown will move to Dean Court on a one-month loan basis.

The 22-year-old was signed by Steve Coppell from Tamworth and has been earmarked as one to watch by the Royals boss.
