Bournemouth have signed Leicester City's utility player, Danny Thomas, after the 20-year-old impressed on a weeks' trial at Dean Court.

Thomas, who was a trainee at Nottingham Forest before signing for City, has signed a contract with the Cherries until the end of the season. He was a second-half substitute in the 1-0 defeat against Brentford.

Danny Thomas was a highly rated prospect under Martin O'Neill but has failed to impress under both Peter Taylor and Dave Bassett.

City need to reduce their wage bill with relegation to Division one looming, so Bassett has been told to strip the squad to the bare essentials.

The left-sided player joins another struggling side; AFC Bournemouth sit just two points clear of the relegation zone in Division Two.
