Boss Jim Magilton has confirmed that striker Dean Bowditch will be joining Brighton for another month. The 20-year-old spent two months on loan at the Withdean Stadium before Christmas.

Magilton told the club site: "Dean will be going back to Brighton.

"He would probably like to go there for the rest of the season but we have to be careful with the Alan Lee injury situation, so we're letting him go for just the month.

"Dean going to Brighton is all about the player getting games and goals and building up his confidence and we'll see how it goes after the month."

During Bowditch's previous loan spell a groin injury restricted the former England U19 international to one start and three sub appearances which yielded one goal.
