Chicksen will be available for this weekend's game
Fleetwood Town have completed the loan signing of defender Adam Chicksen from Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion.The 23-year-old left back will join the Cod Army until 29th March. He will be available for selection for this weekend’s trip to Chesterfield.
Chicksen, who spent time on loan at Gillingham earlier this season, started his career with his hometown club MK Dons.
A move to Brighton followed after 93 appearances for Karl Robinson’s side in July 2013. Chicksen has gone on to make 15 appearances for the Seagulls.
He will take the number 15 shirt and will be available for all of Fleetwood Town’s first team games in March including tomorrow’s trip to the Proact Stadium.
Speaking about the move, boss Graham Alexander said: “He is a young player but has played a number of games in League One at MK Dons.
“Adam is now at Brighton. Stephen Crainey has a two game suspension so we wanted to bring a left back in. Adam is a good footballer, he has great energy and I think he will do well for us.
“We did a lot of work during the week to try and find a left back with the profile of what we wanted to do. We felt Adam would fit into how we play.
“We had to make a lot of phone calls to try and get him in. We are glad everything has been sorted. He trained with the lads today and we are looking forward to working with him.”
