Crystal Palace sign defenders on loan

Crystal Palace have signed defenders Andrew Davies and Ryan McGivern on 28-day loans from Stoke and Manchester City respectively.

Davies, 26, moved to the Brittania from Southampton in 2008 but has made just four appearances in three years.

The former England Under-21 international has spent much of the last few years out on loan, including spells at Preston and Middlesbrough.

City defender McGivern, 21, made 15 appearances while on loan at Walsall last season.
