Hartlepool United have pounced to sign Blackburn Rovers midfielder Neil Danns.

The 21-year-old has agreed a one-month deal and helps bolster Hartlepool's promotion chances.

"It's a great signing for us and I am thankful to Graeme Souness and the people at Blackburn for letting us have him," manager Neale Cooper told Hartlepool's website.

"He can get back and forward and I am sure the fans will be excited when they see him because he is a good player.

"With Gavin Strachan being out through injury I am really grateful that Ken Hodcroft and IOR have once again backed me in the transfer market."
