Dartford have signed defender Tom Dallison on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 19-year-old is part of Brighton's under-21 squad, having joined the club from Arsenal in October 2013.

Dallison will spend an initial month with the Darts and he's set to make his debut for Tony Burman's side in their Vanarama Conference relegation clash at AFC Telford on Saturday.

He bolsters a Dartford defence which was shorn of one of its key members last month.

Mat Mitchel-King left the club by mutual consent in January and Nathan Collier has been playing alongside Rory McAuley at centre-half in the meantime.
