Saints defender Dan Seaborne has joined Cherries on loan until the end of the season, it has been confirmed.

The centre half recently returned from a temporary spell at Charlton, but has now linked up with Eddie Howe’s League One promotion chasers.

News of his departure was first reported here this morning. Seaborne trained with Bournemouth today and could go straight into their squad for Saturday's visit to Walsall.

Seaborne, 25, has made three appearances for Saints this season, all in the Capital One Cup.

He was an unused sub for Nigel Adkins’ side in their last two Premier League games – Saturday’s 1-0 win at Aston Villa and Wednesday’s 2-2 draw at Chelsea.
