Nottingham Forest have signed Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton on loan until January.

Hutton has found himself frozen out of Paul Lambert's plans this season at Villa Park and has been forced to train away from the first team.

Lambert is happy to loan out the Scotland international after trying to offload the full-back during the summer transfer window.

The 27-year-old is set to go straight into the Forest squad for this weekend's clash with Wolves.

Forest chairman Omar Al Hasawi was delighted to land former Rangers and Tottenham defender Hutton on loan.

He said: "Like most of the signings we have made, Alan brings great experience to our squad.

"He has played at the very highest level and will be a big asset to us over the next six weeks."

The charge comes after Scunthorpe asked the governing body to review the video of the League One fixture between the two clubs at Glanford Park last Saturday, when Hughes is shown to elbow home defender Tom Newey.

Iron boss Brian Laws was furious the 36-year-old forward was not punished by match referee Eddie Ilderton at the time, calling the incident "clear".

Hughes went on to score a late goal to rescue a 2-2 draw for his side, having also scored in the first half.

He will now miss the Magpies' league games against Swindon and Yeovil and also their FA Cup second-round tie against Rotherham.

The 18-year-old defender has joined Ronnie Moore's side until January and adds cover to the Rovers backline.

Moore said: "I'm pleased to be able to bring Donervorn to the club.

"With Mark McChrystal going to Scunthorpe to gain match fitness and Ben Gibson able to be called back by Middlesbrough at any time, we were short at the back so Donervorn will add to our options.

"He's only young but he's done well in West Brom's Under-21 side. He's big and strong and I look forward to working with him."

The youngster joined Albion from Reading in 2009 and has become a regular in their Under-21 side.

The 18-year-old Academy graduate penned his first professional deal with the Cherries in April and has since gone on to make four substitute appearances for the club's first team, the most recent of which came in late September.

Daggers boss John Still said: "Josh is a player I have watched a few times and when I first saw him I had the Matt Ritchie feeling.

"He was enthusiastic, bright and lively. He can play wide, centre midfield and off a forward. We have been helped by AFC Bournemouth financially and it hasn't cost us any money to bring him here.

"I think he will be well received by Daggers supporters because of the enthusiasm he shows."
