MILLWALL have signed former England under-21 goalkeeper Rhys Evans from Blackpool.

The experienced 25-year-old, who has played for Chelsea, Swindon and Leyton Orient among others, is available for immediate selection and is not cup-tied for Saturday's FA Cup fourth round meeting at Coventry.

Evans' will now battle it out with Lenny Pidgeley to become the Lions' regular keeper.

His signing comes a day after manager Kenny Jackett boosted his squad by signing striker Lewis Grabban from Crystal Palace as Millwall look to pull clear of the League One drop zone.
