Port Vale have signed midfielder Jensen Weir on loan from Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion for the remainder of the season.
The 21-year-old spent the first half of the season on loan at League One rivals Blackpool, making 16 appearances.
Weir began his career at Wigan before joining Brighton in 2020.
"He is a player of real quality that we have kept tabs on for quite a while now," Vale manager Andy Crosby told the club website.
"He has a fantastic drive to improve himself every day both on and off the pitch and possesses each of the personal qualities required to be a member of our squad here at Port Vale."

Weir has yet to make his senior debut for Brighton and has also had previous loan spells at Cambridge United and Morecambe.
"Jensen's impact in League One, scoring 10 goals and creating six assists is a testament to his contribution at this level," said Vale director of football David Flitcroft.
"Jensen has been recruited to fit our style of play and bolster our midfield options that have been decimated due to Ollie Arblaster returning to Sheffield United and the unfortunate injuries to Funso Ojo and Ben Garrity."
