AFC Wimbledon have signed Shane McLoughlin on a permanent deal from Championship side Ipswich.
The 21-year-old midfielder could be in contention for his Dons debut in Saturday's League One match at Sunderland.
"Shane is versatile and very sharp and accurate on the ball," manager Wally Downes told the Dons website.
""He has great energy, a superb attitude, and he fits the age bracket we want. He is the type of player that we want here.
"Shane has been on my radar for ages. A couple of friends I know that used to play for Ipswich told me about him quite a while ago, so I kept my eye on him.
"He is young and hungry to do well, which is what we want, and he has a great attitude."
