Southampton have sent defender Jan Valery to Birmingham City on loan for the rest of the season.

The 21-year-old has not received much game time under Ralph Hasenhuttl this season.

Valery will be hoping to get plenty of starts for the rest of the season in the Championship.

The Frenchman has played 40 games for Southampton since emerging from the academy as a youngster.

Birmingham are near the relegation zone in the Championship, and will be hoping to experience a resurgence in the second half of the campaign.
