SWINDON Town have signed Birmingham City defender Amari'i Bell on loan until January.

The 20-year-old is eligible for Town's fixture at Barnsley tomorrow afternoon.

Bell has been on trial with the club all week but had previously gone unnamed by the club while they made a decision on him.

Left-back Bell was on loan at Mansfield Town at the start of this season, but was recalled by the Blues, with whom he signed a new one-year contract in June.

The Burton on Trent-born player has also had loan spells with Nuneaton Town and Kidderminster Harriers, having made one senior appearance for Lee Clark's Birmingham.

Bell will wear squad number 12 during his time at Swindon Town.

The signing of Bell indicates that Josh Lelan's spell at the club will come to an end, as the extension of the Derby youngster's work experience loan deal runs out after the game against Barnsley.
