Republic of Ireland and Southampton goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu has joined Belgian outfit Standard Liege on loan until the end of the season.

Bazunu, 22, returned to action earlier this month after nine months out with an Achilles injury, playing three times for the Saints' Under-21s in Premier League 2.

The former Shamrock Rovers stopper needs first-team football and he'll get it in the Belgian Pro League as he heads to a side currently seventh in the table, 19 points behind leaders Genk.

Bazunu is in a battle with Liverpool back-up keeper Caoimhin Kelleher for the Ireland No 1 jersey.

The Boys in Green face Bulgaria in their UEFA Nations League B/C relegation/promotion play-off in March.
