HULL City defender Danny East has joined League Two leaders Gillingham on loan until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old has already spent time out on loan at Northampton Town this term but has only recently recovered from three months out with a back injury.
East, who is out of contract at the KC Stadium this summer, will hope to show enough that he could yet earn a future with his hometown club, as well as providing the Gills with a lift as they chase promotion to League One.
Gillingham boss Martin Allen said: "He's a character, a winner, he's tenacious, bombs forward, he's a good athlete and he'll be good for us.
"East has not featured for the Tigers this season but twice played in cup competitions under Bruce's predecessors Nigel Pearson and Nick Barmby.
