AFC Wimbledon have signed Fulham defender Tom Richards on loan until the end of the season.
The 19-year-old is yet to make a senior appearance for the Cottagers, although he has featured for their Under-21 side.
"Tom is not tall but he is quick, has great stamina and a really good left foot," Dons boss Neal Ardley told the club's official website.
"He's played left-back and left midfield both equally as well. Tom will therefore give us a lot of balance on that side as regards the wing-back role or if we wanted to change the shape slightly."
Richards is contracted to Fulham until the summer of 2014.
