Crystal Palace reserve goalkeeper Scott Flinders has joined League One Yeovil on a month's loan.

The 21-year-old will go straight into the Glovers side for their game against Northampton Town this evening.

Flinders has found it difficult to break into the Palace team with Julian Speroni in fine form between the posts this season and has only made two appearances, both in the cup.

Manager Neil Warnock admitted his decision not to have a reserve goalkeeper on the bench made it difficult for Flinders.

He said: "It's hard for a second goalie at my club because I don't have one on my bench. I'd rather him go and get some games and sharpen him up really."

With 20-year-old keeper David Wilkinson also out on loan at Blue Square South side Eastleigh, a 24-hour callback clause has been added into the Flinders deal so he can be called back at a moment's notice should Speroni get injured or banned.
