West Ham United have agreed to loan Herita Ilunga to fellow npower Championship side Doncaster Rovers until 3 January.
The left-back moves to the Keepmoat Stadium on an emergency loan, having not played for the Hammers since the 2-1 defeat by Aldershot Town in the Carling Cup first round on 24 August. Ilunga has found chances limited with the arrival of George McCartney.
The 29-year-old played when the Hammers won 1-0 at Doncaster on 13 August, and will become manager Dean Saunders' second new signing after the arrival of Pascal Chimbonda.
He is the latest Hammer to be loaned out following Pablo Barrera (Real Zaragoza), Jordan Spence (Bristol City), Cristian Montano (Notts County), Ahmed Abdulla (Swindon Town), Jordan Brown (Aldershot Town), Callum McNaughton (AFC Wimbledon), Robert Hall (Oxford United), Olly Lee (Dagenham & Redbridge) and Frank Nouble (Gillingham).
