Portsmouth have loaned striker George Hirst from Premier League club Leicester City.

Hirst joined Leicester in the summer of 2019, but has only made two senior appearances for the Foxes so far.

The striker was on loan to Rotherham United last season but failed to score in 32 games in all competitions as the Millers were relegated from the championship.

Now, however, Hirst will get the chance to prove himself in League One next season, with it now being confirmed that the 22-year-old has loaned Pompey a season.
