Aaron Brown has joined League One side Walsall on loan until the end of this season.

Brown, 24, joined the Royals from non-league Tamworth in November 2005, but is yet to make a first team appearance.

He was on the bench for a couple of games in our Championship-winning season, but a broken ankle in the summer of 2006 very much stifled his progress.

He will go straight into Saddlers' squad for their game with Southend this weekend, and he could face another of our players Hal Robson-Kanu, currently on loan at Roots Hall.

Earlier today, Leroy Lita extended his loan at Charlton until the end of the season, and we now have 14 players loaned.

Thursday marked the deadline for Football League clubs to make emergency loan signings.

Our loans are:
Alan Bennett at Brentford until 3rd April.
John Halls at Sheffield United until 12th April.
Jem Karacan at Millwall until 19th April.
Adam Bygrave at Gillingham until 3rd May.
Hal Robson-Kanu at Southend until 3rd May.
Scott Davies at Aldershot until 3rd May.
Curtis Osano at Rushden until 3rd May.
Ben Hamer at Brentford until 4th May.
Leroy Lita at Charlton until 4th May.
Alex Pearce at Norwich until 4th May.
