Swindon Town have confirmed the loan signing of James Debayo from Hull City.
Debayo, 20, has joined on a season-long deal. Swindon had initially investigated the possibility of a permanent switch, but Hull preferred to hold onto the versatile defender, who has a year to run on his Tigers contract.
The former Leeds United academy graduate joined Hull in the winter, having struggled for gametime in the professional ranks at Elland Road.
Swindon see him as both an option in the back three and competition in the holding midfield role.
