Doncaster Rovers have completed their second signing of the January transfer window.

Winger Ethan Ennis is heading to Rovers on a loan deal for the rest of the season from Premier League giants Manchester United.

Ennis, aged 20, ironically played and scored against Rovers for United's under-21s in the EFL Trophy fixture back in September. The two sides played out an eventful 3-3 draw that saw Rovers lose on penalties.

Rovers have already signed Rob Street on loan from Lincoln this month.

Speaking to the club’s official website, Ennis said: “Coming out of Manchester United and playing men’s football is an important move for me. I think I’m ready for the challenge.

"It’ll be a bit different, living away from home in a new setting but I’m really looking forward to it. It’s something looking forward to, being in competitive games in a competitive league.

“The manager outlined where the club wants to go and hopefully I can bring my best and help make that happen.”

Ennis, who was given a new two-year contract by United in the summer, could debut in the FA Cup third round at Hull City on Sunday.
