Former Portsmouth target completes Doncaster switch

The defender has completed a loan move to the Keepmoat Stadium from Blackburn for the remainder of the season. 

Blues boss Kenny Jackett was keeping tabs on Downing to bolster his defensive options. 

The centre-back had slipped down the pecking order at Ewood Park, making just four appearances this term. 

However, Downing has instead opted to join Pompey’s League One rivals. 

Jackett’s side welcome Doncaster to Fratton Park on February 2.
