Brighton midfielder Jensen Weir has joined Port Vale on-loan.

Weir spent the first-half of the season with Blackpool.

"He is a player of real quality that we have kept tabs on for quite a while now," Vale manager Andy Crosby told the club website.

"He has a fantastic drive to improve himself every day both on and off the pitch and possesses each of the personal qualities required to be a member of our squad here at Port Vale."

Vale director of football David Flitcroft also said: "Jensen's impact in League One, scoring 10 goals and creating six assists is a testament to his contribution at this level.

"Jensen has been recruited to fit our style of play and bolster our midfield options that have been decimated due to Ollie Arblaster returning to Sheffield United and the unfortunate injuries to Funso Ojo and Ben Garrity."
