Doncaster Rovers have signed Leicester City defender Ben Nelson and Blackburn Rovers right-back James Brown on loan until the end of the season.
Nelson, 18, spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Rovers' League Two rivals Rochdale, making 12 appearances.
Meanwhile, Brown, 24, featured 22 times during a loan stint at Stockport County which ended earlier this month.
"We've been watching and evaluating both players for a while," head coach Danny Schofield told
"To get [the deals] over the line by mid-January is very pleasing. They both trained as though they've been here a couple of weeks and they're ready to go."
