Doncaster Rovers have signed striker Rob Street from Lincoln City on loan until the end of the season.

Street, 23, joins Doncaster's League Two promotion push, dropping a division from the Imps, for whom he has made six league appearances this season.

"He's gone to Lincoln for a big fee and he's just found it hard to break into the team with the form of other forwards and we've benefitted from that," Rovers boss Grant McCann told the club website, external.

"He's powerful, he's quick, he's going to run in behind teams. He's a great lad so he'll fit into our changing room. I'm really pleased to get him."

Street, who joined Lincoln last summer from Cheltenham Town, came through the ranks at Crystal Palace and had loan spells with Torquay United, Newport County and Stevenage Town during his stay with the south London club.

Street could make his debut for Rovers in Saturday's home game against promotion rivals Port Vale.

The striker is also cleared to feature for the club in the FA Cup third-round tie at Hull City on 12 January.
