Bristol Rovers have signed Cardiff City defender James Connolly on loan until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old centre-back, who is the Bluebirds' under-23 captain, goes into the squad for Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at Peterborough United.
Connolly, who can also operate at right-back, moved to Cardiff from fellow Championship side Blackburn Rovers last summer on a one-year deal.
Connolly has yet to play a first-team game as a professional.
