Eredivisie strugglers VVV Venlo have bolstered their resources with the signing of midfielder Danny Holla on loan from FC Groningen for the rest of the season.

The 24-year-old has made 17 appearances for Groningen this term, featuring predominantly off the bench, having plied his trade at the club since 2006.

Venlo are currently second-bottom of the standings and technical director Mario Captein is pleased to seal the signing of Holla before the league campaign resumes this weekend.

"In our search for a midfielder we soon landed on Danny," he told the club's official website. "I'm glad we have agreed a deal quickly."

Holla added: "Players want to play, it's as simple as that. I'm not the type that wants to sit on the bench.

"I hope I will get more playing time here than in the first half of the season at FC Groningen."
