Sports snap up Taylor on loan

Eastbourne Borough have swooped to snap up striker Lyle Taylor from League One side Millwall on a month-long loan spell.

The hitman is a first year professional with the Lions and is highly-rated at the New Den despite not making an appearance for the senior squad.

He is set to go straight into Garry Wilson's plans for Tuesday's encounter against Kettering at Priory Lane and will start if Andy Atkin suffers any ill-effects from his calf-strain.

Sports assistant manager Nick Greenwood told The Argus: "Lyle is a big, strong target man and gives us cover if Andy does not make it.

"I've watched him score five goals in his last two outings and he has looked very impressive so with Siggy (Jean-Michel Sigere) also injured we decided we needed to bring somebody in.

"Millwall think very highly of him so we'll see how he gets on."
