HEREFORD FC have signed 21-year-old defender Callum Rowe on a season-long loan from Aston Villa.

The left-back recently played for Villa in their FA Cup tie against Liverpool.

He was influential in Louie Barry scoring against the reigning Premier League champions.

 

“We’ve been looking at Callum for a while now and watched the Liverpool cup game with interest," Hereford manager Josh Gowling told the club's official website.

"He had a great performance and showed his quality up against the likes of Mo Salah.

“He’s a player who has an eye for a pass, he’s good at one-v-one’s and I am sure he’ll add a great deal of quality to the team.

“We’ve got a good relationship with Villa and we’re pleased that we’ve been able to bring him in.

“We’re going into a period of games that sees us playing Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday, so we’re going to need a full-strength side."

Rowe will be available for Tuesday night's FA Trophy game against Stamford AFC.
