BLACKBURN Rovers goalkeeper David Raya and midfielder John O'Sullivan have signed initial one-month loan deals with Southport and Accrington Stanley respectively.

Raya, who turned 19 this week, will remain with the Sandgrounders until at least October 18 and will go straight into their squad for tomorrow's Conference Premier clash at Macclesfield Town.

The Spanish stopper's departure means new signing Ryan Crump will make his debut for Rovers U21s in their U21s Premier League encounter with Stoke City at Leigh Sports Village tonight (7pm).

Ryan Tunnicliffe will be the sole first-team player in Eric Kinder's starting line-up.

The on-loan midfielder, who impressed off the bench in Wednesday's 3-2 home loss to Derby County, is ineligible to face his parent club Fulham at Craven Cottage tomorrow. 

Rovers U21s boss Kinder's options are stretched further for this evening's match by the absence of O'Sullivan.

The midfielder, who turned 21 yesterday, this afternoon completed his loan move to League Two neighbours Stanley.

O'Sullivan, who will remain at the Store First Stadium until at least October 18, could make his Reds debut at Northampton Town tomorrow.
