Northern Ireland’s Chris Casement
Linfield have signed Northern Ireland international Chris Casement on loan until the end of the current season.

The Dundee defender, 22, played for Northern Ireland last summer, making his first appearance with the senior side in a 3-0 defeat to Italy.

He is Linfield's second loan signing this season and follows Peter Thompson who returned to Windsor Park last month.

Manager David Jeffrey said he was delighted to have signed Casement, who previously played for Ipswich and Wycombe.

"He actually made contact with us. He contacted Alfie Wylie who knows him very well from the Under 21 squad. He wanted to get out on loan for a spell and he very much wanted to come and play for ourselves," Jeffrey told the club's website.

"He's a young centre back with a great footballing CV and great potential and this arrangement gives us an ideal opportunity to look at him and for him to have a look at us.

"Obviously, he plays in a position where we're trying to strengthen as best as possible and certainly his signing adds to the competition levels within the squad."
