Myles Peart-Harris: Portsmouth sign Brentford midfielder on loan

Myles Peart-Harris played 47 matches on loan at Forest Green Rovers last season, including in a 1-0 defeat to Pompey at Fratton Park

Portsmouth have signed midfielder Myles Peart-Harris on loan from Brentford until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old becomes John Mousinho's second January signing after the return of keeper Matt Macey.

Peart-Harris spent last season on loan at League One Forest Green but made his Premier League debut last month.

Mousinho said: "He has experience at this level and the fact he has appeared in the Premier League this season, shows his pedigree.

"He is a skilful and powerful attacking midfield player who we're delighted to bring to the club."

Peart-Harris has been a regular in Brentford's Premier League squad this season, making three appearances off the bench with two more in the FA Cup.

He had been attracting attention from Championship strugglers Queens Park Rangers.

The former Chelsea youngster joined the Blues aged eight and represented the club in the EFL Trophy but moved across west London on a reported four-year deal in 2021.

With Alex Robertson unlikely to play again this season a new number 10 has been a top priority for Pompey this window.

Pompey still want to add a centre half before deadline day and potentially another attacking player if the right one become available.
