International goalkeeper checks in as Doncaster Rovers make fifth January signing
Doncaster Rovers have completed the signing of Hearts goalkeeper Zander Clark.
The 33-year-old has linked up with Grant McCann's side on a loan deal that runs until the end of the campaign. Clark, capped four times by Scotland, arrives as a direct replacement for Ian Lawlor who has today completed a free transfer to Crewe Alexandra.
Clark has not been registered in time for today's FA Cup third round tie with Southampton. He will compete alongside fellow loanee Thimothee Lo-Tutala for the remainder of the season as Rovers attempt to avoid relegation. McCann's men are five points from safety with 22 league matches still to play.
Clark has struggled for game time this season at Hearts, who lead the Scottish Premiership as they attempt to win a first league title since 1960.
Alexander Schwolow is Hearts’ first-choice stopper and veteran Craig Gordon second in line. Clark started the season in goal but quickly lost his place. His last competitive outing was on August 30. His Hearts contract runs until summer 2027.
He becomes Rovers’ fifth signing of what is proving a busy month. His signature follows the arrival of defender Bayley McCann, midfielder Darren Robinson and forwards Hakeeb Adelakun and Frankie Okoronkwo.
