At Last - A Striker Joins The Bulls

Graham Turner has used his contacts in the football world and signed Lewis Young, a young striker, on loan from Watford. To date he has made four first team aperances for the Hornets.

Young joins the Bulls on an one month emergency loan deal.

"He's a very quick striker or wide player, he can score goals and we're delighted to have him here," Turner told the OS.

"His attitude has been great, we've not had to convince him to come here, he's jumped at the chance to join us."

The Bulls have been short of fire-power all season and Young's move to Edgar Street will be welcomed.

A short profile from Wikipedia:

Lewis Jack Young (born 27 September 1989) is English footballer who plays for Football League Championship club Watford. He has recently been promoted to the first team squad from the academy and plays as a striker. Young is a younger brother of England and Aston Villa player Ashley Young, who also started his career at Watford.

For the 2008-09 season Young was given the number 32 shirt for Watford and for the 09-10 season, number 21. He made his debut as a substitute in Watford's 1–0 victory over Bristol Rovers in the Carling Cup on 12 August 2008.

He made his league debut against Bristol City on Boxing Day 2008.
