Woking have signed defender Jaiden Putman on a short-term youth loan from Championship side Queens Park Rangers.

The 19-year-old joins the Cardinals for the next three months, adding depth to interim manager Craig Ross’ defensive options.

“I’m really pleased to be here,” said Putman. “As soon as I spoke to the coaching staff, it was clear this was the right place for me to continue my development.

“I’m looking forward to getting out on the pitch, meeting the lads and doing everything I can to help the team over the next few months. Hopefully I can make a positive impact and repay the faith the club has shown in me.”

Woking director of football Jody Brown said: “We have a couple short term injured, so we’ve taken the decision to add Jaiden on a short-term loan.

“He’s trained with Craig and the staff this week, which is of great advantage. They’re confident that he’s able to step in and add quality to the group.”
