The 19-year-old has impressed for the Potters' Under-21 side this term and has also represented France at Under-19 level.

"I hope that we're going to beat Port Vale and I'm pretty confident that we can do that," Lecygne told the Donny website.

"I know we're doing pretty well this season, we're 12th in the table and I've spoken to the manager and I like his ideas and how he plays and his philosophy.

"I've heard that he was a good centre midfielder and I'm looking forward to working with him."

Lecygne joins three other loanees at the Keepmoat Stadium, with Ipswich Town's Cameron Stewart, Everton's Conor Stewart, and Sunderland's Lynden Gooch all on temporary spells in South Yorkshire.
