Tottenham's Dominic Ball joins Cambridge United on loan

Dominic Ball could make his Cambridge United debut against Manchester United on Friday

Cambridge United have signed Tottenham Hotspur defender Dominic Ball on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old is eligible to face Manchester United in Friday's FA Cup fourth-round tie.

Ball, who is yet to make his Spurs debut, had appeared at youth level for Northern Ireland before switching his allegiance to England last year.

This is his first loan spell away from the club, after playing 16 times for Tottenham's Under-21 side last term.
