Notts County have signed Fulham goalkeeper Luca Ashby-Hammond on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 22-year-old spent the first half of the season with Notts' League Two rivals Crawley, but was recalled early from his loan to join the Magpies.

He is the first player Notts have signed since Luke Williams left to take over as Swansea boss last week.

"I've known about Luca for a long time," Notts head of goalkeeping Tom Weal told

"Having had such a good grounding with Fulham and England, and with Crawley also playing a similar way to us, he's very familiar with what we would expect from a goalkeeper and I'm really looking forward to working with him."

Weal said Ashby-Hammond's addition will add competition for places, and allow 20-year-old Tiernan Brooks to once again go out on loan.
