Davey said: “I’m really pleased to be here with the opportunity to get games under my belt.

“Dermot was my coach in the under-21s at Chelsea so I know him well and the way he wants to play which I’m excited about.

“I also know a few of the lads who are already here which has definitely helped me settle in.”
