Henry Cowans: Aston Villa midfielder joins Stevenage Borough on loan

Henry Cowans has yet to make a first-team appearance for Aston Villa

League Two club Stevenage have signed Aston Villa midfielder Henry Cowans on loan until January.

The 20-year-old son of former Villa player Gordon Cowans has appeared for Villa's Under-21 side

He comes in after confirmation that Boro midfielder Tom Conlon will miss up to nine months with a knee injury.

"He's got those Tom Conlon-type traits and obviously with Tom stepping out for a while it ended up being decent timing," said Boro boss Darren Sarrl.
