Houghton, has been at Chelsea at the age of seven, and has captained Chelsea’s U-21 side and enjoyed a productive loan spell at Plymouth Argyle during the second part of last season and helped the club reach the play-offs.
The 20-year-old midfielder has trained with Doncaster this week and is likely to start at Accrington Stanley today as a replacement for Luke McCullough in the midfield holding role.
Houghton becomes the 18th player for Chelsea to move out on loan this summer. The Blues yesterday confirmed the departures of Tammy Abraham and Papy Djilobodji yesterday.
