Wimbledon sign Hull defender Furlong on loan

AFC Wimbledon have signed Hull City full-back James Furlong on a season-long loan.

The 22-year-old Irishman has played once for the Tigers' first team - starting last season's FA Cup third round replay defeat by Birmingham City in January.

A knee injury suffered in that game has kept him out of competitive action since.

The bulk of Furlong's first-team experience has come during a loan spell with Scottish Premiership side Motherwell during the second half of the 2022-23 season.

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 left-back began his career in his homeland before moving to Brighton's academy.
