Paul Cook has strengthened his right-back options by recruiting Aaron Simpson from Wolves.

The highly-regarded 19-year-old joins on loan for the rest of the campaign.

Simpson appeared for Wolves’ reserves against the Blues in November’s goalless draw at Westleigh Park in the Premier League Cup.

The departure of Adam Buxton by mutual constent has created space in the squad as Cook attempts to resolve the long-running issue.
