Falkirk manager John McGlynn says the club's capture of the England Under-20s midfielder Louie Marsh is an indication of how attractive the club has become for young players.
Marsh, 21, has signed on loan from Sheffield United until the end of the season.
He has made five senior appearances for the Blades and has also had loan stints with Doncaster Rovers and Fleetwood Town.
McGlynn is excited to bring Marsh to the club and is delighted the bulk of his work in the transfer window has been done early.
"We are pleased to announce Louie Marsh as our second signing of the January window," McGlynn said.
"We've moved a bit quicker than even I expected, and I thought it would be a bit later in the window before we would be at this point, so we're delighted to have Louie at the football club now.
"Louie is another one who we had eyes on in the summer very early, and the message was he would be staying in there at Sheffield United. They went through a bad period, changed manager, and they never really got the opportunity to get into the first team. We've managed to get him on a loan deal to the end of the season.
"He's an attacking player, and he's got real quality to add in that attacking area. He's an elegant player and I'm sure he's going to produce quality and get a few assists and a few goals in the second half of the season."
Falkirk have already extended the contract of goalkeeper Scott Bain and announced the signing of forward Ben Parkinson from Newcastle United.
