Swansea City have had to put the loan signing of Gillingham central defender Brent Sancho on hold. The Trinidad & Tobago international was expected to sign on a one-month deal today, but new Home Office rules means the 28-year-old must process a new work permit.
Manager Kenny Jackett is still hopeful of completing the move in time for Sancho to figure against Walsall at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday.
Sancho fell out of favour at Gillingham after becoming embroiled in a club-versus-country row.
He joined Gillingham in August 2005 on a two-year contract following a successful trial period during the summer after two seasons with Dundee in the Scottish Premier League.
Sancho, who can also play at right-back, has also played for both MyPa47 and Tervarit FC of Finland; Charlestone Battery and Portland Timbers of the USA A-League; San Juan Jabloteh and Joe Public FC of Trinidad. An experienced international, he has won over 40 caps for his country.
