George Taft: Cambridge United borrow Burton Albion defender

Taft has had loan spells at Kettering Town, Swedish side Karlstad BK and York City in his career

League Two side Cambridge United have signed Burton Albion defender George Taft on a six-month loan deal.

The 22-year-old former England Under-19 international made 34 appearances for the Brewers last season as they won the League Two title.

He came through the ranks at Leicester, but did not reach the first team.

"His versatility as a left-back or left-sided central defender allows us to increase competition for positions in the squad," said boss Richard Money.
