West Ham United defender Doneil Henry has rejoined Championship side Blackburn Rovers on loan until January 3.

The centre-back played three games whilst on loan at Ewood Park last season after joining the Hammers from Cypriot side Apollon Limassol.

"It is great to be back here again - it is a great club. The last time I was here I felt really welcomed," Henry told Rovers' website.  

New Rovers manager Paul Lambert said: "I'm delighted to be able to bring Doneil back. I know that he did very well last time he was here, prior to his injury.

"We felt that it was important to add an extra body to the defensive department and Doneil was the obvious choice."
