Villa youngster Edwards joins in loan deal
------------------------------------------
Chris Knott has moved to reinforce his options in midfield with the loan signing of I-Lani Edwards from Aston Villa.
The 20 year old, who links up with us initially for a month, has already spent time in the National League North this season, playing 22 games for Hereford, one of which was against Brakes back in October. He also scored one goal for Bulls during his spell.
"I'm really happy to be here," I-Lani said. "There are a lot of games coming up so I'm excited to get going and make an impact."
Having been in Villa's Academy since the age of 10, I-Lani signed his first professional contract in the summer of 2024, and featured for the club's Under 21's in their Premier League 2 side last season. The midfielder will wear shirt number 28 while at Your Co-op Community Stadium.
We would like to welcome I-Lani to the football club, and hope that he enjoys his loan spell with us.
