Collymore Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Premiership 'Keeper Joins Foxes Posted on: Mon 16 Feb 2009 Leicester City have this evening completed the signing of Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Mark Bunn for a one-month loan period, subject to Football League approval. The 24-year old joins the Foxes to ease an injury headache which has seen three goalkeepers sidelined ahead of Tuesday's visit to Hartlepool. David Martin was forced from the field with a rib injury during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Swindon town, while Paul Henderson (groin) and Alex Cisak (wrist) are also currently ruled out. Article continues Advertisement That left Carl Pentney to make his first senior appearance when replacing Martin at the weekend. But while City boss Nigel Pearson was quick to praise the efforts of the youngster, he acknowledged the need for more experience in the side during their upcoming run of fixtures. He said: "Carl performed very well when he came in against Swindon under what were very difficult circumstances, but we need a player with greater experience in that area. "Mark played a number of first team games during his time with Northampton. I am very grateful to Sam Allardyce and Blackburn Rovers for sanctioning this move." Bunn signed his first professional contract at Northampton Town in 2004 and made 90 appearances for the Cobblers before his switch to the Premier League in August 2008. He went on to make his first team debut for Rovers in the 1-0 FA Cup third round victory over Blyth Spartans in January. The player will join up with the rest of the Leicester City squad ahead of Tuesday's League One clash against Hartlepool at Victoria Park. Bunn has been handed the number 33 shirt. Blackburn have a 24-hour recall option on the player during his stay at the Walkers.

Orkneyfox Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 I just hope Bunn is butter than some of our other keepers
Joe. Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Fan-bleeding-tastic. Superb keeper. Trust me. Good enough for me. No doubt he'll go straight into the first team for tomorrow night, good luck to him.
Cobbo Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Good stuff. Pearson can't half pull off some cracking (albeit short term) signings. Watch him let 4 through his legs now.
lookwhaticando Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Watch him let 4 through his legs now. Pearson?
lookwhaticando Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Letting four through his legs would qualify him for England's Number One. If he's English, of course. I've not been arsed to check yet.
dhermon Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 He looks frigging huuuuuuge think ive already got a man crush for him
BlabyFox Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Never heard of Bunn but good signing i hope. Poor Carl - he did well on his debut.
Hitesh Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 Good find and should be a good enough replacement for the month!
BlabyFox Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 He looks frigging huuuuuuge think ive already got a man crush for him He's only 6.0 ft
Hitesh Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 He's only 6.0 ft Must have been a big picture!
StanSP Posted 16 February 2009 Posted 16 February 2009 I wonder if he'll have the same effect as Fulop did. He'll probably play solidly for a month and then we'll beg to keep him but Blackburn won't have any of it.
