Birmingham City defender Will Packwood has joined Bristol Rovers on-loan.

United States-born Packwood, 20, joined the Blues on a professional deal in 2011 and broke into the first team a year later.

He has made five appearances for the Championship club and signed a one-year contract extension in the summer.

"Will's an American boy, who is very highly thought of Birmingham. So much so, they don't want to get him cup-tied," said Rovers boss John Ward.
