The Tigers have signed midfielder Simon Walton on loan from Queens Park Rangers.

Walton is available for selection for tonight's game against Coventry City and will be with the club until the end of the season.

Walton began his career with Leeds United before earning a £500,000 move to Charlton in July 2006.

Loan moves to Ipswich and Cardiff followed before a £200,000 switch to QPR last summer. He has made five appearances for Rangers in the Championship this season.

Walton is set to be allocated squad number five.
