Luton Town swoop for Aston Villa defender Kinsella
Luton Town have signed Aston Villa defender Lewis Kinsella on loan for the rest of the season.
The 20-year-old left-back has featured in recent Villa squads, and played a part in the FA Cup win over West Brom.
Meanwhile, Luton duo Ross Lafayette and Ian Rees have joined Welling United and Hitchin Town respectively on loan.
Ipswich Town strike late deal for Crystal Palace pair Williams and Fryers
Ipswich Town have signed Crystal Palace pair Jonny Williams and Zeki Fryers on loan.
Midfielder Williams has joined for a third spell at Portman Road, and is eligible to make his latest debut in the clash with Bournemouth on Good Friday.
The Welshman saw a loan spell cut short earlier this season after picking up an injury.
Meanwhile, left-back Fryers has also joined.
The 22-year-old was seen as a big prospect at Manchester United, before he agreed a controversial move to Tottenham Hotspur.
However, he failed to make the grade at White Hart Lane and moved to Palace last summer.
In terms of outgoings, Ipswich striker Paul Taylor has joined Blackburn Rovers on loan until the end of the season.
Peterborough United complete triple swoop as Vassell joins Oxford United
Peterborough United have completed a triple loan deadline day swoop, with Middlesbrough's Luke Williams, Leicester City's James Pearson and Bradford City Alan Sheehan all joining.
Left-back Sheehan and striker Williams join until the end of the season, while Pearson has signed until May 24.
Meanwhile, Posh striker Kyle Vassell has joined Oxford United until the end of the season.
Norwich City extend loan agreement for West Brom's Dorrans
West Brom midfielder Graham Dorrans has extended his loan deal with Norwich City until May 25.
The 27-year-old has been at Carrow Road since February, after seeing a permanent move break down in January.
Dorrans will now be able to feature in the play-offs, should Norwich require them.

Confirmed: Norwich City loan target Akpom joins Nottingham Forest
Norwich City have missed out on the loan signing of Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom, with the forward joining Nottingham Forest instead.
The Canaries had been heavily linked with a move for the England under 20s star, and were said to have held talks with him last weekend.
However, Akpom has now moved to the City Ground until May 31.
The news comes as a blow for Norwich who are looking for extra firepower to cover for the loss of injured forward Lewis Grabban ahead of tonight's 5pm loan deadline.
Luton Town midfielder Rooney leaves Kenilworth Road
Luton Town midfielder Luke Rooney has left the club, after both parties agreed to cancel his contract.
The 24-year-old featured prominently at the start of this season, but has seen his chances limited recently after struggling to recover from a hernia operation.
Ipswich Town loanee Varney to remain at Portman Road until the end of the season
Ipswich Town have extended the loan deal of Blackburn Rovers forward Luke Varney until the end of the season.
The 32-year-old initially joined on a month's loan, but Town had the option to extend that deal if they wanted to.
Varney will now stay at Portman Road until May 2, with an option also in place to cover the play-offs - should Ipswich make it.
Town have also extended the loan of midfielder Richard Chaplow.
Again, he will stay until the end of the season.
Chaplow scored the winner in Ipswich's 1-0 win at Watford on Saturday (21 March).
In other news, defender Elliott Hewitt has been recalled from his loan spell at Colchester United to help cover for the suspension of Tyrone Mings and an injury to Jonny Parr.
Elsewhere, Ipswich defender Christophe Berra scored the winning goal for Scotland last night in their 1-0 triumph over Northern Ireland at Hampden Park.
