Doncaster Rovers have signed Lincoln City winger Hakeeb Adelakun on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 27-year-old arrives having scored four goals in 24 appearances for the Imps so far this term.

He is Rovers' fifth signing this month following Conor Carty, Jay McGrath, Matthew Craig and Billy Waters.

I'm buzzing to be here and I can't wait to get started, get some games under my belt and hopefully get some success," Adelakun

Adelakun created history when he made his professional debut with Scunthorpe, becoming the club's youngest player in December 2012 at the age of 16 years and 201 days.

After more than 150 appearances over six years, he went on to spells with Bristol City, Rotherham United and Hull - where he played under current Doncaster boss Grant McCann - before he joined the League One Lincoln in the summer of 2021.

Adelakun spent last season at Gillingham, where he scored once in 31 games.
