Brighton have signed Reading forward Tony Rougier on a month's loan deal.

Brighton have swooped to sign Reading's out of favour striker Tony Rougier.

Since the arrival of Luke Chadwick from Man Utd , Rougier has been on the sidelines , Brighton quickly snapped him up and Rougier should make a debut for the Seagulls on Saturday.

Speaking on the Seagulls official site Coppell said "Anthony is a player I've watched for a number of years and I've always had the feeling that he's a player who can influence a game.

"He's a little bit of something else and with suspensions to Bobby Zamora and Gary Hart and injury to Paul Kitson there's not many options so I'm pleased with what Tony will bring to us." Coppell added
